Just been prescribed 20mg tamoxifen once a day are the side effects as bad as they look? and when's the best time to take them? Thanks
Hi, I’m on letrozole, but the side effects are similar. I take mine at bedtime, so the worst of any side effects are during the night. I don't have a lot of issues. Best wishes
