Letrozole side effects

Hi, have been only been taking letrozole for three weeks and feeling fine apart from rash which has appeared. It is around scar area ( had diep reconstruction) on tummy, on top of legs , on arm the side of surgery and on the breast that had surgery. Been to gp who has given cream but wondered if anyone else has suffered these effects

Dear Motherhubbard,

Welcome to the forum.  I’m sure you will find lots of information and support on here from other members.

You might find it helpful to look in the section “Going through treatment” (the green box on the front page)  /Hormone therapy.  There are several threads on there about Letrozole which you could post on or start your own thread.

Hope this helps

Very best wishes

I had diep reconstruction in May and have been in Letrozole since February I have itching on the top of my left leg most nights, it feels like something is crawling on me. Hope your itching is improving

Hi, has anyone had trouble getting the make of Accord Letrozole? Accord will send to Lloyds or Boots chemist. Pharmacist will order if doctor will put the brand on the prescription as there are delivery costs. So far my doctor has refused to do this and other brands I have tried make me very stiff. Still get hot flushes but that I can cope with!
