Different brands of Letrozole

I was just looking for feedback on how people are coping with their Letrozole tablet side effects please. I started with Sun pharmaceutical brand that hospital supplied and feel ok no side effects. On asking docs for repeat prescription and asking chemist for same brand they can't get hold of it so supplied Accord brand. Does anyone have any feedback to when if any side effects kick in. I have just got used to taking tablets and wanted to stay on same ones really. Thanks

  • 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.

     

  • 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
