Hi all
just been given a different type of Letrozole to go alongside my Palbociclib and it’s made by Amarox well it’s knocked me off my feet even with palpitations, has anyone else had difficulty, do think my pharmacy will have them back I do still have a strip left of another brand and I’ve taken that this morning?
Hi i had this sort of problem years ago. The Letrozole i was on was fine for me i cant remember what brand it was, but on one occasition i was given by my pharmacy Letrozole by another brand name and it didnt suit me. I asked my pharmacy why i had been given a different brand and she said that she had not got the one i normaly had and not to worry all Latrozole was the same. I told her no its not, this new one you have given me makes me feel ill. What i did was phoned my oncologist and told him my problem right away and he said to ask my doctor to put on my perscription which brand was good for me and if they did not have that one in stock to tell me and he (the oncolgist )would perscribe it along with my Palbociclib which i pick up every month. Maybe you could do the same hope this helps
