I read in an article that half life for anastrozole is 50, Letrozole 48, and exemestane 24. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7848814/#:~:text=The%20half%2Dlife%20of%20anastrozole,original%20AI%20without%20side%20effects.

I called my pharmacist a few years ago when I was on it. She informed me of the half life was 50 hrs.
Was there a change in the drug since then? I dont know.
Was she incorrect? Im not sure. But I sure appreciate your article.
I just checked the link and the server is down.
Thank you so much!

My yoga, thank you. I looked it up and youre correct!
I was on Letrozole prior to Exemestane and that has 48 hours. It was Letrozole that was crippling so I switched to Exemestane. Sadly, I was in the low percent on Exemestane that caused the heart problem.
Again, thank you for your correction!
