Exploring other treatment options, rather than AI med

I just want to add that I was given the generic form once bc my pharmacist could not get my Meds… I bled from it. Immediately went to my Gyno, not the oncologist… she said generic drugs are not equivalent! She wrote my script for only non/generic so they cannot substitute. I never bled again. I wonder after hearing this if that may have been the problem . Just a thought♥️ I don’t know if the oncologist , “whom I love” would have picked that up so quickly… and maybe would have taken me off.

That is so interesting! I tried generic and had neuro reaction immediately ("sensitivity"). I took brand name Femara for 5 years with no problem.
For my last 3 months I did try a different generic and it was fine. The fillers are different. Overall I tend to trust brand name drugs over generics even though it is a financial stretch.
