Side effects of Anastrozole

Posted by otas @otas, 1 day ago

I have been on anastrozole for 2 years for breast cancer and now I have been diagnosed with osteopenia.
I take calcium and Vitamin D.
Any advice would be great. Thanks

I was on Anastrozol from 2022 and had severe backache and body ache. Also this year my Dexa showed osteoporosis.
My oncologist has prescribed Prelia every six months and replaced the Anastrozol with Tomaxifin. My backache has definitely reduced!
I have also started Osteostrong exercises and vibration therapy.

I will have to wait for a year at least to know if it has made any difference!

You may want to check k with your oncologist the change of the medicine.

Best wishes.
