Hair loss due to Anastrozole

I also had a problem with thinning hair while taking anastrozole. I’ve read numerous articles which indicated that thinning hair can be caused by low estrogen. Since taking aromatase inhibitors, (anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane) leaves us with a very small amount of estrogen, it seems logical that hair loss is a common side effect.

Yes....friends of mine who had a tough time with menopause have thinner hair than mine. I'm on this for 10 years, and fortunately (other than the hair and dry skin) don't notice much else.
