Hello there,

Does anyone know of a brand of Tamoxifen that has the days of the week on the foil packaging (like the contraceptive pill does)? 

Thanks

  • Hi Sparrow29,

    That sounds like a good idea but I am not sure if there are any brands that do this. I wonder if it is worth asking your pharmacist next time you collect. If there is, then you could discuss with the doctor who prescribes it. 

    I can be forgetful with medication and have in the past used those pill boxes with the days of the week on. I bought my own and it was inexpensive but I know that my own pharmacy will actually put the medication in the pill boxes for some people.

    I have also set a reminder on my phone before. Routines such as taking when I clean my teeth each day has also helped. 

    Jane
