Anastrozole<\/strong> helps to lower the level of estrogen circulating in the body.<\/p>\nReducing estrogen levels can help slow down or even stop the growth of hormone receptor-positive breast cancer cells, which rely on estrogen to thrive. By depriving these cancer cells of the estrogen they need, Anastrozole<\/strong> can help to shrink tumors and prevent their spread to other parts of the body.<\/p>\nWhat are the common side effects of Anastrozole?<\/h3>\n
Like all medications, Anastrozole<\/strong> can cause side effects. Some of the most common side effects of this drug include hot flashes, joint pain, fatigue, and bone thinning (osteoporosis). It’s important to discuss any side effects you experience with your healthcare provider, as they may be able to provide you with strategies to manage them.<\/p>\nIn rare cases, Anastrozole<\/strong> can also lead to more serious side effects such as liver problems or an increased risk of heart disease. Your doctor will monitor you closely while you are taking this medication to ensure that it is safe and effective for you.<\/p>\nIf you have been prescribed Anastrozole<\/strong> as part of your breast cancer treatment, it’s important to take the medication exactly as directed by your healthcare provider. Do not stop taking Anastrozole<\/strong> without consulting your doctor, as doing so could compromise the effectiveness of your treatment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Anastrozole: What is it and how does it work?
