Avatar f tn Generic name Anastrozol • Not all women experience the same side effects while using ARIMIDEX. [True] • Side effects are usually predictable as to when they will appear, how long they will last and severity.

Avatar n tn It will be very hard to ascertain if the hypertension is due to the arimidex without formally withdrawing the drug and observing your blood pressure. However, this might reduce the benefit that you can derive from the drug. I suggest you discuss this option well with your doctors. I believe that the best course of treatment (managing the hypertension and continuing the arimidex) is already being done.
Avatar f tn Has cancer reoccurred in patients while they have been on arimidex, not due to the drug, but due to the cancer. In other words, does taking arimidex prevent cancer from reoccurring while a patient is on it?
Avatar n tn I would seem odd to have this type of reaction since you've been on Arimidex for over 2 years but I suppose anything is possible. Since the Oncologist thinks your symptoms may be caused by something other than the drug you might want to ck. with a Neurologist regarding this numbness OR perhaps an Internist, since this may even be a circulatory issue.Sounds like it's going to be a process of elimination in order to find the cause.

1415174 tn?1453243103 Hallucinations are not listed as a side effect of Arimidex on the chemo drug Web site or a Web site providing detailed info about medications in general, nor was it listed as a side effect in an older version of the PDR I have at home. Not saying that means it couldn't still be related to Arimidex, but is your friend taking any other meds that might have caused this symptom?
Avatar f tn I am taking Aromasin,( the generic ) after being taken off Arimidex because of severe side effects. Soon after I had to have cataract surgery, and after 2 months of perfect vision, I had to have laser surgery in the same eye due to deteriorating vision. It's been over a year since my cataract surgery and my vision is getting worse in both eyes and I am experiencing severe pain at times after waking up.
Avatar n tn I even was in physical therapy for two months because I thought it was me but no it was the drug..

If you go down the page to the bottom right hand side you will see underneath the Community Members area, the Related Expert Forums and you will see ovarian cancer there. That is the link to Dr Goodman. If you look up at the top right hand side, just above Recent Activity there is a search bar that says "Search this Community".
Avatar n tn Though there is a good theoretical basis for the use of arimidex on endometriosis, I believe that this is still an off-label indication for the drug and the clinical basis for its use is still from phase II clinical trials (studies with still low number of patients). Until such time that the indication of endometriosis can be demonstrated in large phase III clinical trials, the use of arimidex for endometriosis is still controversial.
Avatar n tn My oncologist is in the process of deciding whether to prescribe Letrozole/Femara or Anastrozole/Arimidex. What considerations factor into which of these two drugs to use? Has anyone had experience with either of them? How serious are the side effects?
Avatar n tn You welcome! Just a suggestion about hormonal therapy to lower estrogen levels. If you are post menopausal,and your bone density test doesn't show you have osteoporosis,you could ask your doctor to prescribe a much less expensive drug,like Femara's generic version "Letrozole" or Arimidex generic version "Anastrazol" If you are pre-menopausal, then Tamoxifen would be also good and I believe it's the least expensive one. I hope this helps...
Avatar n tn I am 42 and have been on Arimidex since Feb. 20, 2009. I have had a hysterectomy in May to remove my ovaries. I have gained 15 pounds. I am on a 1600 calorie/day diet and walk six miles a day, four days a week. I would like to know if there is any thing else I can do to battle this weight gain. I will be on Arimidex for another four years.
Avatar m tn After seeing an endocrinologist who ran all types of blood work which came back normal with the exception of his estrogen level a bit higher then normal and had an X-ray of his hand which showed bones of a 13 half to 14 half yr old (I was told was good ) want to give my son arimidex. My question is......is this safe for teen boys. I read its not FDA approved for children.
Avatar f tn I switched to Aromasin from Arimidex and my I began losing my hair immediately. Changed back after 6 days but a week later, I'm still losing hair. Any ideas on how long this will continue?
Avatar n tn Please inform me of side effects of Arimidex. Also confirm whether clinical tests proved that arimidex really prevent cancer from returning. Recently I had a lumpectomy. The cancer was confined to the lump in my breast and did not spread to the limph nodes. I had a serie of 30 radiation treatments. My bone density is deteriorating, thus I would like to know whether I have to take osteobond 70mg weekly. Will arimidex contribute to loss of bone density? Thank you very much. Susan.
1415174 tn?1453243103 Has anyone experienced a full face full of acne for a prolonged period after starting Arimidex? It is my friend who had breast cancer and she is blind and wants to write for her. She also has Lupus but she has seen a dermatologist and rheumatologist and they dismiss it as acne. She knows she is out of remission with discoid lupus. But they assured her the 'acne" is not lupus breakout.
Avatar f tn Last week the doctor had me switch to Arimidex as I had not had a period for one year. After taking it for a couple of days I was not feeling very well. I was having stomach discomfort, irratibility and swelling in my hands. I received a call from the doctor's office telling me not to take the Arimidex and return to Tamoxifen as my hormone levels suggested that I wasn't in menopause quite yet. How do these two drugs work differently?
Avatar n tn I have been on Arimidex for seven months and experienced an increase in libido, I am 72. The Oncologist checked for an increase in testosterone. Result: normal. The Doctor checked with an endocrinologist. The Arimidex is blocking the estrogen production and the body recognizes the testosterone more readily and reacts. Are there other women with this reaction?
Avatar m tn When a patent for a brand name drug expires, pharmaceutical company can make a generic form of the drug. Effexor patent expired in 2006, since then several generics are available. Those generics are usually cheaper but they must contain the same active ingredient(s), the same dosage form, at the same dose or concentration, and for the same route of administration. The generics are usually cheaper and can use different inactive ingredients and preservatives which can sometimes cause trouble.
Avatar f tn I was diagnosed with bilateral breast cancer and underwent a bilateral mastectomy eventhough my tumors were considered to be small--level1. My mother had breast cancer twice, first time did a lumpectomy and tons of radiation and was pronounced cancer free after five years. The next year the cancer was back and she had a mastectomy. My question is since my tumors were small even if they were estrogen fed shouldn't the mastectomy have been enough.
