Oh it's a nightmare!  

Is anyone's pharmacy able to supply Cipla brand letrozole please?   Or even anastrazole Bristol Labs?

Friends around the country are asking local pharmacies (so GP can email prescription and they can pick it up for me and post it to me!).  But no joy yet

I began on Anastazole Bristol Laboratories brand but after the first repeat prescription never been able to get it since.  So got swapped to Letrozole Cipla brand.  Again, great.  Never been able to get it since.  Accord is awful for me as is Sun pharmacy : headaches, depression, nausea, metallic taste and pain and more.

Pharmacist was rude: 'it's what we get so it's what you get'  even though GP put ONLY CIPLA in prescription.

I can't find a chemist who can supply it.

i had the same problem with tamoxifen can only take tillomed brand , I refused at my chemist counter to take anything else surely they understand the side effects differ crazy from tablet to tablet my brand is zero affects for me I won't take anything else .

I really understand and hope you can find what suits you lovely 

best of luck love Lara ️

They refused to source any brand other than the one they offered me.  Despite GP saying 'ONLY Cipla' to them.

Tough luck they said basically.  Even though they were the o ex who first supplied good brand!

Pharmacist simply told me to phone round all chemists until I found one that supply it ...  

Bleah.  Not good.

Thank you for your kind words, Lara

Hi Gillmh, I have been taking letrazole for 8 months now & yes I got Bristol brand 2 months ago in North East Scotland. Previously started on Sun, on to Cipla, then accord. Each time I only get 2 boxes. I expect this is due to the price is expensive I do get free prescriptions though. Not really experiencing any side effects until 5 months in & halogens tongue hot & salty. Dr did blood test found low vit B12 taking that for a month now & changed time of med to after teatime has helped a bit. If tired then that's me not getting out for exercise. If knee aches old injury & age now almost 67. Wishing everyone the best.pip

Hi GillMH,

I started on Accord approx 4 weeks ago and noticed that metallic taste in mouth in last week but also in the last few days have started with terrible aches in legs and hips. I am quite active so know it's not a change in excercise or anything. I had to put a heat rub on last night to get to sleep. I thought here we go now. Is the side effects starting!

After reading your reply and reading others I heard Cipla, so nipped into a local well known chemist today (up North) to see if they could get these if I got docs to write the brand on prescription. After saying they had seen them then her going to have a word with pharmacist, came back and said sorry can't get these for you.  Will try asking round now at other chemists. 
I also mentioned the terrible pain in legs and pharmacist said this is nothing to do with the brands. ( trying to fob me off I think) ! Will try my usual chemist on Monday.
