Hi, I'm from the UK and went to pick up my prescription of Arimidex today only to find I have been given Anastrozole manufactured by TEVA. I am not sure how I should feel about this but I'm not happy!! My 5 years on Arimidex was up in February but I asked to continue and was allowed for at least another year.

I understand that due to cost issues this might be welcomed in the US and other countries but as this is not the case in the UK, would you rather have Arimidex or would you not mind? I'm just worried in case the generic version does not work as well :-(

Any views on this would be appreciated.

Thanks
Morgan
