Dear Mr Chander,
Patients taking letrozole can experience vomiting and nausea, which are potential side effects of the drug. You can inform your wife's oncologist and he will prescribe another drug to prevent the vomiting and sensation of nausea. DO NOT discontinue treatment with letrozole because of the vomiting.
Regards
