Hi, I'm on my third brand of letrozole with my latest prescription, this time Amarox.  I've had Sun and Accord before, and both were similar is that I had some achy joints, but not too bad.  I've never heard of Amarox, anyone have any experience of it?

i have asked for a consistent brand, but it seems difficult for our pharmacy, which is linked to the Dr, so maybe I have to get a more general prescription and search around but I wondered what people were finding with Amarox.   Thanks so much

    I’ve had various brands over the last year and don’t even think about it (currently on Sun).  If I ache/pain I just grin and bear it because I know next month I’ll probably have something they found it the back of the cupboard!!! We had a shortage recently so I was prescribed Anastrozole.  Had 3 tabs before chemist rang and said there are 16 others waiting but as you were 11th on list, I’ve got your Letrozole! Onwards &Upwards! Best wishes xxx

  • I’ve heard at last from my MP about the Letrozole shortage, he had been in contact with someone from Health, the reply was that there are numerous manufacturers (yes we knew that already, didn’t we?!) and if one was struggling there would still be others! In other words, up to the patient to search out a stock?!?!? Pathetic.
