- AineGMemberHi Barney74 I did Zoldex for a year before opting for ovary removal. yes, each one Zolodex & Exemestane are $38 each on the PBS.
If you opt for the Aromasin Brand most chemists charge a little more (mine charges $42) but the generic Exemestanes work just as well.
Good luckSign in to react to this post - Barney74MemberThanks ladies
I looked up pricing both are $38 so im looking at nearly $80 which i bloody hope not .

- LMK74Member@Barney74, I am on zoladex injections monthly since February and recently started on Arimidex. The silver lining as far as zoladex goes is no periods( yay). I had got flushes in the beginning but have eased dramatically. That may change now I'm on Arimidex. Same price as other prescriptions.Sign in to react to this post

There are lots of posts on these names. I think @melclarity has been on Aromasin
As to Goserelin (Zoladex) it is a slow release injection. I had 26 altogether over 2 years -one every 4 weeksSign in to react to this post
