Hi there - new on here but have been taking tamoxifen for over 5 years. The usual practice of just waiting to see which brand my pharmacy hands me but up until now I have been fine with very few side effects. Then I was given Tillomed and felt awful. I have felt really nauseous and refluxy, actually gagging sometimes but never actually sick. I have just tried 4 x pharmacies to get any other brand but they all have Tillomed and apparently have all had other people in there trying to get hold of any other brand rather than Tillomed. Has anyone else experienced this? Not sure what to do as they clearly have control of the “market” now but really don’t want to go back on them. I have tried to specify a brand to the pharmacy but they say they are just given whatever the wholesaler provides?!
Hi, I’m currently taking Tillomed too and I was advised by a colleague (also on it) to take the tablet late evening time whilst eating a plain biscuit such as a Rich Tea. She swore blind the biscuit helps because the tablet isn’t coated plus you will then sleep through the worst of the symptoms. No idea if any of it is true but I’ve been following her advice and haven’t had any problems so far.
Boots told me that if you can convince your GP to specify a brand on the prescription then they will get it in. Otherwise it is pot luck. I hope things get better for you x
My GP species the brand i prefer ( accord) and i always get it …the pharmacy order it in … just ask your gp to do this
