Tamoxifen brands

I’ve been on tamoxifen nearly 5 years and was using Tillomed but Boots stopped being able to supply so moved to Mylan brand both tolerated ok now Lloyds have been taken over by pharmacy 2 u they say they can’t get Mylan (it’s more expensive I think) I said I’d try alternative but it’s causing really bad sweating . Do any of you use an online pharmacy and are on Tillomed or Mylan brand I’m a bit desperate now as don’t want to have excessive sweating again when it had all been ok for last couple of years . Thank you 

  • Hello Pencs and thanks for your post,

    I am sorry to hear about your situation. 

    I have come across a forum where they are discussing this very topic. The breast care nurse suggests trying smaller chemists as they are not buying in bulk. You can have a look at the discussion on Breast Cancer Now.

    You have posted in 'ask the nurses' but if you post on another thread or start your own you may get more responses.

    I do hope that you are able to find the brand that works for you.

    If you would like to ring and chat through anything else you are welcome to give us a ring. The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

    All the best,

    Catherine
