Anastrozole side effects

I've been on Anastrozole for 4 1/2 years now @staton & my most recent bone density test was fine.  But if you come from an osteopenia background, talk with your Onc about it - there might be injections that can lessen the reduction ... or just taking Caltrate or similar .... they'll give you the 'good oil' .....

All the best & take care

Hi yes reduction in bone density is a recognised side effect so you will need scans,
There are dietary suggestions to help keep up your calcium but you may need injections of a drug to keep up the density, it depends. 
The drug can cause dental complications so it’s important to have a full dental check up .

Thanks @arpie

Thankyou @Julez1958 

I didn’t take Anastrozole, I took Letrozole for 10 years and yes, between the medication and ageing my excellent bone density at 67 has taken a dive. I still don’t have osteoporosis and I am hoping to skirt Prolia or something similar, it can be very effective but you tend to be on it for a long time and yes, any serious dental work has to be timed in between treatments. Worth getting more information on, to help you make an informed choice. Best wishes.
