I’m wondering why I take Anastrozole everyday when the half-life is 50 hours. I’ve had three fractures in the past two years, and I’ve had osteoporosis since 2000. Anastrozole makes my osteoporosis worse. Is compounding Anastrozole with a long half-life contributing to these fractures?

Ask your oncologist if you can switch to Tamoxifen, which is not as prone to making osteoporosis worse.
