Can anyone help please ? I have been taking Tamoxifen for over a year now, I have all the usual side effects , joint pain , migraine , which isn’t pleasant but I did expect some side effects, but I have had a nasal drip for over a year. Has anyone had this annoying side effect? I know I sound whingey but my nose runs at my desk all day and in the morning when I am training its hard to breathe. I thought it was hay fever but its very bad and causes sore throats t night . I have read that the hormonal pill causes runny nose, so i wondered if Tamoxifen could be the cause ? I am taking all sorts of over the counter drugs but nothing helps ? Its not just light either it runs like mad, not pleasant sniffing up all the time in meetings . I take a ton of tissues every where I go . Thanks for any advice in adavance x
Hi
I don't have the experience with nasal drip but I had a look in the group and noticed that the most recent post from someone who'd mentioned it was from Eiluj. I've tagged them into my reply to you in the hope that they could pop by and tell you if they've found anything that helps.
