Can someone help me here? I was put on Tamoxifen in January 2022. After initial problems with bladder infections which were bought under control by taking Hiprex (a godsend) my body seemed to cope fine.
Now I have hit a problem. Originally I was put on the Relonchem brand but recently my pharmacist gave me the Tillomed make and I'm really not coping. Aches in my arms and legs .Awful.Any suggestions and has anyone else experienced this . I know they say all Tamoxifen is all the same but is this really right ? Any feedback and advice are gratefully sought.

I'm on exemestane and noticed some brands didn't agree with me. I sent bac the ones that were awful and I now have a note with my pharmacist to only get one particular brand. They apparently have a lot of customers on various drugs that do the same.
