Hi,
This may be a question for the community.
After an unsuccessful attempt with Anastrozole, my Onco switched me to Femara Letrozole and I can tolerate the effects much better. This brand Femara has just now been discontinued in Ireland and I’m hoping to source it elsewhere with a private prescription. Can anyone help with a pharmacy name where you current get it? Thanks in advance for any advice. I am really reluctant to try a generic brand which are available
Hi Tessie
Thanks for posting.
As the Femara brand seems to suit you, it’s understandable that you want to carry on with it. We are unable to say which pharmacies in the UK stock this brand but you may want to contact the manufacturers Novartis to see if they can help.
If you live in Southern Ireland, the Irish Cancer Society may also have some suggestions.
