Letrozole Brands

Hi, I have just joined the forum.  I have read some of your comments on Letrozole and am having the same problems.

I started on them in April after finishing radiotherapy.  Was on Crescent brand at first, which wasn't too bad.  I have got painful joints, but not much else.  The next one was Accord, which were awful, my tummy was in shreds, and really affected my bowels.

Managed to get Crescent again, now I am having the same problem.  Accord seems to be the one the pharmacies seem to have, but I won't have those again.

I am collecting one called Amorox tomorrow, but can't seem to find it listed anywhere.  Has anyone had this brand before?  Fingers crossed the side effects are not too bad. :-(

  • Welcome to the forum Brackers although I'm sorry to hear of the difficulties you're having getting your preferred brand of Letrozole.

    I hope you won't experience too many side effects from the one you picked up yesterday and hopefully you will hear back from some of our members who have experience with Amorox soon.

    If you'd like to try and find out more about this brand, then do get in touch with our cancer nurses on 0808 800 4040. Their phone lines are open Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m and they'll do all they can to help.

    You may also be able to get further information and advice from Breast Cancer Now.

    Kind regards,

  • Hi, Steph.  Thank you very much for your reply.  I am hoping that I get on okay with them and will certainly contact the nurses if I need anymore info.

    Thank you.
