Anyone take Anastrozole every other day?

Interesting. For me, I take it daily. I have not had much of any side effects, so i have not ask my medical team to cut it. Have you has your medical team. I know i have read women's story that they cut the dose or quit. Let your Dr or nurse in on this question. It will be your body and your choice.
Takecare of yourself.

Thank you.

Has your oncologist advised taking it everyother day ?
I'm asking as I asked this question to my oncologist as I had awful side effects.
I was told if you do not take every day the medication will not work & I'd be at high risk of a recurrance. I only thought it would stop the side effects & not affect cause the medication not to work.
Please ask your oncologist get a 2nd opion too if it's not clear. I went to 3 oncologists & asked a mass of questions. Good luck

I think it depends on so many different things. I'm at a low risk for reoccurrence--but not "no" risk. I know it would not be a consideration for many people.

I'm low risk too

I.was told by ALL 3 oncologistd I asked that taking AIs on alternate days will not work to stop the hormone receptors stopping estrogen being absorbed it has to be daily taken.

Interesting. Thank you for your feedback. I'll ask some more questions.

I chose to take it only every other day fr beginning 10 mos ago and more recently I take it in halves in morn night with meal.
I do not really have any side affects accept a little knee joint pain , but I am quite active so it is a combo of why I think I have a little pain sometimes. I'm also 5' tall and I was told the prescription is the same for a 6' woman or other sz. I've had clear Cat scans---but I am worried for the next one.. I've been under so much stress that I feel panicky about the metastatic BC to my vertabrae--it feels achey where my frightening biopsy was to one vertabrae and they drilled through my muscle to get 3 dif. core samples of the 5-7 mm tumor. That achiness flares up with surprise debilitating issues that I am beset with. I try to deep breath & redirect or set boundries w/ offenders and go to positive thinking as best I can.
