Re: Tamoxifen - looking for peoples’ experiences with different ’brands’

Hello @MajesticTiger 

Personally I’ve been on Tamoxifen for 15 months now and I think I’ve probably had around three different brands, I can’t say I’ve noticed many side effects at all, no matter which brand I’ve been given.

Tamoxifen - looking for peoples’ experiences with different ’brands’

Hi everyone, I hope you are all keeping well.

I’m due to start taking Tamoxifen after my Radiotherapy and would be grateful to hear your experiences on this hormone drug.

- I’ve read that different brands can cause different side-effects to varying degrees - what are your experiences with this?

- What ‘brand’ of Tamoxifen have you found gave you less side-effects that you were able to tolerate/live with, to carry on with your day-to-day activities?

Trying to do a bit of homework on this, before I approach and discuss with a Pharmacist.

I’m just looking to get an overview of this, as I know I’ll probably need to experiment with different brands to find what works for me, but just wondering if more people take a particular brand due to it having less side-effects.

Any help and advice would be much appreciated. 🫶🏼💗xx
