I was given Letrozole in February (cipla brand). When it came time to renew my pharmacy gave me the accord brand. After 18 days the side effects were horrendous freezing cold and uncontrollable shivers, I also had smelly urine/hot flushes. My GP told me to stop taking the accord brand and he will give me a prescription for Cipla. I went one night without taking any medication. The shivers and smelly urine stopped immediately.
I've now been back on the cipla for 3 days no shivers/smelly urine but still have the hot flushes which I can cope with and yesterday I had my first radiotherapy appointment.
My GP advised me to get a thermometer and record my temperature and phone him back at the end of the week.
The first time I took my temp was yesterday at 4pm and it was 35.5 that was 2 hours after the radiotherapy. Since then I have taken it a few times and the lowest it's been was 35.1 and the highest was 36.4. Is this another side effect of Letrozole.
