I started on Tamoxifen last May and apart from not being able to sleep until I worked out when to take the tablet and giving me constipation I didn’t suffer any other side effects. From what I’ve read on here, I have been very lucky. My periods stopped which was a bonus too!! I was given a different brand this year though and my periods came back and my skin has gone super itchy and it has made me very dry ‘down there’. I would like to go back to the original brand, but didn’t keep a note of what it was. I’ve trawled various sites, asked the GP and pharmacist, but no luck yet, so I was wondering if anyone could help me please. It was a white box with a pink arc on one corner - think it was the bottom left - has anyone had that one who could tell me what the brand was pls?
i found this when I was doing a search on images. It shows the shape of the pattern in the box, although it is a mirror image with the pink being on the bottom left (I think!)
Yes thanks Loffie, I’ve looked at that one. As you say the pattern is similar, but the wrong colour. And it is such a distinctive brand name, I would think I would remember that one. Who knows though - with the post COVID and cancer treatment brain fog …. Anything is possible!! In the pharmacy today they did talk about wockhardt, but said it was more expensive than others and that they wouldn’t have used it a matter of course. They recommended I visit other pharmacies to ask to see what they have on their shelves!! I feel some super sleuthing coming on
Thanks for this radge, kind of you to take the time to do this. I’ve had Relonchem and currently have Milpharm and had periods with both. Breast surgeon said I might need to change drugs if this keeps happening. Hence trying to track down the other one which seemed to stop them.
