Imho, with the new expensive packaging, Pfizer acknowledged Ibrance causes memory loss, lol

I like it though... :)

Hi Anja,

I like the new Ibrance packaging. It seems safer to me. Also, like the fact that you can take it without food. I feel like it does cause memory loss. Where did you find that? Blessings Hannah

Hi Hannah, yes I certainly like it better as well. My reasoning for memory loss was the fact that Pfizer changed from very inexpensive packaging, ie 21 pills in one cheap plastic bottle, to a very expensive daily indicator system. The only reason in my opinion to do so was to make it easier due to memory loss. I normally take Ibrance in the morning, but there have been instances where I couldn't remember if I really took one. So now that problem is solved. :)

Hello ladies: I forgot to take my Ibrance once last week, even in the new packaging! Scary.—Madlyn

So easy to forget, I know. I have made it a rule to put my three meds in a separate little container to take with my breakfast. BayG just posted she uses a pill reminder app. Also a great idea.

Same! I kept saying I think this thing is causing me to lose memory. Was right! The new packaging will be very helpful.

I use a free pill reminder app. Keeps me on track with all my pills. Thank goodness.

When I started on Ibrance I went to their web site and they sent me a nice 28 day pill box. The last 7 are blanks obviously.

I couldn’t help but snark that I’ve come a long way from my 21 day birth control package
