Letrazole alternative

Hi I am one year in taking Letrazole and am in absolute agony in every part of my body so much so I'm not sure what to do and am getting desperate has anyone used an alternative to this drug and if so any recommendations I am speaking with my consultant in the next few weeks I don't want to seem ungrateful but I have another 9 years taking this and I do not think I can do it any help/advice would be appreciated TIA.

  • Hello DebLyn3009

    I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing problems with pain after starting Letrozole last year. we know that many women do experience this side effect and for some, it can be very debilitating. 

    There are some alternatives that may be appropriate for you but this is a discussion best had with your Consultant as they will have all the information needed to hand. You might find it helpful to chat things through with one of our team of nurses ahead of your Consultant appointment and if you'd like to do this they're available Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm on 0800 800 4040. I'm sure they will be happy to give you any information that they can. 

    I do hope that things improve for you soon. 

    Best wishes,
