Now endo is suggesting that in order to give him more time to grow, we give him Anastrozole. I have seen lot of posts and spent hours on the forums wherever I found mention of advanced bone age/Anastrozole/Letrozole. It seems there are quite a few posts under Pediatric Endo forum but not able to find any answers if any parents tried Anastrozole/Letrozole and what has been their experience regarding delaying bone age and side effects.
Have developed a heart rhythm disturbance, shortness of breath, edema of hands and legs/feet since being on Anastrozole. How worried should I be? Should I consider discontinuation discussions with my Dr.?
This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/542261'>Can Arimidex Cause Skin Lesions?</a>.
I have been on Anastrozole for year, 4 more to go (5 ys.) I have the worse Joint pain, stiffness, hurts to walk, get up from chair, I get out of bed hurting, I ache everyday. My skin and stays so dry, my hair grew back after chemo, but is lifeless, thin, etc. I do not like this Pill and want to discontinue, but my Oncologist said it is doing me more good, to keep taking it. This pill is really aging me, dry wrinkly skin, no energy, cant walk and move like I want to.
This drug is still available as a generic, it looks like the price of the drug has increased due to higher cost for Walgreens to purchase it. I'm afraid the other drugs available for BPH will probably be as or more expensive than Doxazosin, but I would check with your local Walgreens pharmacist for more price options.
Is there a store such as walmart walgreens cvs etc that sales clomid or does it need to be discribed by a docter?
So I've been told that this gender test from walgreens has been pretty accurate for some women & I really wanna know if anyone else has used it & it was correct??
Thats a good price from Walgreens. Is that (3) x 1 grain per day. If so thats 90 NT pills a month for $15, very good price.
You must have good ins! $5 for Armour, wow!
My ins price of Armour last summer was $25 per month, cash was $17, yep.
I think this is regulated per state law, how they can cover it, so it can vary. Just like some states you can have out of state health insurance, and some you cant, it drives up the cost, as monopolizing always does.
Prices can vary by location so I cannot quote you an exact price but I checked the price for several different stores and the price should be approximately $86.99 for a bottle of 50 tablets or $79.99 if your dog is listed on a Prescription Savings Card. Please call your local pharmacy to confirm its availability as well as the price.
im on anastrozole.
just called to tell me it went up 5000 dollars this month. Have to get approved again ! Thought price would be dropping or at least hold steady . Heck of a thing once treatment has started . Should be a price freeze or something . Walgreen spec pharm is where my ins . Makes me go and they won't accept coupon from solvadi .
The oncologist switched me to Anastrozole but the Anastrozole failed. My mom passed away at the age of 97 from omentum cancer. We didn't know she had cancer until 2 months before she passed. It's a very slow growing cancer. We had no idea and had never heard of omentum cancer before but we were later told It's a metastasis from the ovaries. My recent telehealth appointment with Sloan-Kettering the oncologist suggested exemestane Hormone blocker. Wishing your mom the best.
If you've had Hashimoto's for that long, have you also been on any replacement thyroid hormone medication? If so, what medication, dosage and for how long?
Have you had Free T4 and Free T3 tested to determine actual thyroid hormone levels? If so, what are their results, with reference ranges?
I've read that there's a connection between breast cancer and thyroid disease, but I'm not exactly sure what it is.
As of right now we are holding off on meds. He is growing but still just a little each year. He hasn’t hit a growth spurt yet but I’m hoping he does very soon. My son is 4’6” now and I worry so much that he is not going to reach anywhere near his mid parental height. How tall is your son? We have seen an endocrinologist who thinks anastrazole would be a good way for him to get closer to his potential, but I am so scared to put him onedicines just to gain a few inches.
This is insane, how can anyone pay $40,000. 00?
I bought mine at Walgreens.
My son is on GH for GHD. Also did 2.25 yrs anastrozole since bone age was slightly ahead. Now only on GH. Age 15.5, bone age 13.5-14. Has all the puberty markers for tanner 4: pubic hair now starting a line to navel. Has to shave a couple times per week but only few hairs in beard area, voice deeper but no prominent adams apple yet. A year ago at endo appt we were told he didnt have to endure anymore testicle size checks. I assume that means they are near adult in size.
t smell disgusting like others and it goes down smoothly, but the price kills me! Even with the discount you can get online and my insurance, it is $52. The pharmacist said it is because there isn't a generic brand. Does anyone take anything else that is different and is any more reasonable in price; and of course good for the baby? Thanks!
t see it listed. If your looking for a place in the us Walgreens specialty pharmacy has competitive prices. Some pharmacies will price match too you just have to ask.
Good luck to you!
I just bought the generic brand from walgreens. Just be careful with the gummies they don't have iron in them...
Dear river1980, Both Femara (letrozole) and Arimidex (anastrozole) are aromatase inhibitors used in the treatment of hormone receptor positive breast cancer in post menopausal women. Aromatase inhibitors block the enzyme aromatase (found in the body's muscle, skin, breast and fat), which is used to convert androgens (hormones produced by the adrenal glands) into estrogen. In the absence of estrogen, tumors dependent on this hormone for growth will shrink.
