Hi Has anyone had any luck finding a chemist who will dispense Letrozole Sun Pharma? Tis is the only band I can tolerate, Sun Pharma have confirmed it is readily available but all the chemists I have asked have said they can't or won't order it. If I could find out which chain of chemists are dispensing it I could approach my local ones to see if they will do the same. Thanks 

  • Hi I am the same as you and tolerate Sun Pharma brand. The last two prescriptions I have had to ring round I managed to get it at Tesco Pharmacy. My regular pharmacist tried so hard but just couldn't source it. Good luck x

  • I will try Tesco thank you. Sun Pharma told me that their 2 largest wholesalers are Day Lewis and Well Pharmacy but I've not had any luck with either. 

  • Hi. I alternate between Sun Pharma and Accord and seem to tolerate both the same, just in case you haven't tried Accord and that helps. Best wishes

  • I took Accord it was terrible but we are all different apparently there are 15 brands if Letrozole but dare not try others .

  • Hi thank you for replying. I"m on Accord at the moment whilst i search for Sun. Accord makes my lips tongue, gums and inside of my mouth so sore i dont want to eat. A pharmacist i spoke to yesterday said Sun put their prices up extortionately so nobody bought it but thought it might have settled now and was hoping it would come back in stock.

  • I've been on sun letrozole  from Well pharmacy since August last year.  I was given amorox a copy of months ago which I took for 2 months, I then started with joint pains. I've asked my doctor to put on my prescription sun only. I collect my next prescription this week, hoping it's sun. 

  • Forgot to say the last prescription I picked up, 1 box was accord and 1 amorox. I had to take them as they had no sun but spoke to my doctors and they put the request through for sun only.

  • Thank you. My Well Pharmacy wont order it for me. I've messaged Well head office so will see what they say. My GP has written Sun on my prescription. So frustrating how things are so different in different parts of the country. Glad youve got yours sorted most of the time though Thumbsup 

  • That's worrying that the doctor has put that on your prescription and Well won't order it in for you. Hoping all is good this week when I pick it up. I'll let you know. We really shouldn't have to dread each and every time we collect our prescriptions knowing that some brands don't agree with us.
