Elevated Liver Enzymes When Taking Exemestane

Not sure if I have already mentioned this but I checked my most recent lab results and my liver profile is normal. I have been in Exemestane since March 2026. Now in month #6.
My biggest side effects are increased joint pain (I already have arthritis) plus headaches (double whammy, I already have migraines from a 2019 concussion).
At this point in time that's what I am dealing with...the joint pain can be painful, the headaches can be the worse!
But this is AI #3 for me. I have to hang in there...not sure what would be my next breast cancer medication if I were to stop the Exemestane.
Hopefully your liver enzymes spike was a one time event and the numbers have returned to normal by now.
Take care, keep us posted.

Hi!
I take Propel and Exemestane. I have not had electrolyte overload on one bottle of Propel. It does work for me. But, if you take alot of it, I don't know. Seemed to balance hormone unbalance of night sweats and sleeplessness. But, The electrolytes take care of pain from medicines b ut not sure if it handles arthritis. But, arthritis has been around about 5,000 years, so I guess nothing can touch that. Try the Propel, had a good lunch, and then exemestane, and wash everything down with Propel. It has worked for me. But, as you know not everything works for everybody. But, worth a shot!
