Yes, I broke out with hives and had some nasty hives from Anastrozole; it seems I had an allergic reaction to it. It also caused some memory loss issues. Tomoxifin also caused memory/cognitive issues. My doctor prescribed Arimidex/Exemestane at my visit this past Tuesday as an alternative to those. But when I went to pick them up at the pharmacy I was charged $175, at my regular Walgreens pharmacy. I did not complete the purchase and am seeking info. on why they are so expensive. I’d rather go back to Tomoxifin and just put up with memory loss and cognitive issues!

Get the GoodRX app. It will show you the cost for the same prescription at all the Pharmacies in your area, along with coupons. You don't have to use Walgreens. The new pharmacy can have your prescription transferred.

You might want to ask your doctor about Femara (Letrozole). I'm guessing that he chose Exemestane because it's steroidal and you likely wouldn't break out in hives with it?
