hi lovely ladies
How many of you have tried different brands pf letrozole? I decided that Accord was best for me but then my chemist annoyingly gave me Cipla. I have had horrendous side effects these past 5 days, it is quite debilitating... anyone else had that experience? I am analyzing the ingredients of each; it seems the film coating is quite different...
I am not sure if I just had a bad time in general and felt awful, or indeed it was CIPLA to blame...
I also asked Femara as I heard that was best, but my GP would not prescribe it saying it costs an extra £900 a year.... I think it is terrible we have no choice in these matters and must plea all the time to get something which ultimately will affect me for the next 10 years...
Anyway, just wondered if anyone else felt the same.

Hi. I've been on letrozole for 2 years now. Normally get accord but sun pharm if they can't get accord. Had cipla once and never again. I use a family run pharmacy as they are so much better and really do their best to accommodate my requirements. The larger pharmacies don't seem to listen and just get anything but never accord. Good luck x
