Hi,
I was prescribed Letrozole in March 2025 and was given Sun Pharma brand. All was well. After a month I was given Accord and it may be a complete coincidence but 2 days later my mouth and lips became very sore almost to the extent that I couldn't eat. My breast care nurse advised me to go back to Sun Pharma brand but all the chemists I have tried say they cannot order it (It's in stock but when they order they cant specify a certain brand) The Pharmacy wholesalers they are ordering from say they cant control what brands are sent out to the chemists. So what I'm asking is - Has anyone found a chemist chain (Boots/Lloyds etc) who will dispense Sun Pharma and also has anyone else experienced sore mouth and lips after taking any brand (The Accord leaflet lists Stomatitis, inflammation of the mouth and lips as a side effect, Sun Pharma doesn't) My GP can't help.
Thanks
Hi Snookerloopy and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
I’m Anne, one of the Community Champions here on the Online Community, and although I was diagnosed with breast cancer I'm not on letrozole.
The online community is divided into different support groups so I'm going to recommend that you join the breast cancer group, which is a great place to ask questions, share experiences and get support. I'm sure you'll find others there who are on this drug.
