Anyone take Anastrozole every other day?

I wonder if anyone here takes Anastrozole every other day. If so, does it lessen your side effects? Thank you.

Does that reduce the side effects?

Exactly! I have always thought this!

@marygrannie
Yes. I took Anastrozole for 4.5 miserable years. Then Exemestane for six weeks—awful! Took off two weeks and now Exemestane three days a week for a month. I’ll continue with Exemestane. So much better!!!!! I still have GERD but not as bad. Hardly itchy anymore. I still have no appetite but I do eat two times a day. Not nauseous as I used to be. Very little back pain. I see a chiropractor once a week and that has been helpful. I have a life again. Wishing you the best 💕❤️💕

@mimi09 I read the following: The global letrozole market generated approximately $2.6 billion to $2.7 billion in revenue in 2025 across all pharmaceutical makers. Could this have to do with it?
