Can I take Anastrozole and Vitamin D together?

למה זה קורה

Anastrozole works by lowering oestrogen levels, which can lead to bone thinning (osteoporosis). Vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium, which strengthens bones and helps counteract this side effect. There are no known issues with how the body processes these two substances together.

It is safe and often beneficial to take vitamin D while taking anastrozole. You should continue taking your supplements as directed by your doctor or pharmacist. It is a good idea to have your vitamin D levels checked periodically to ensure you are taking the correct dose for your bone health.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

Anastrozole must not be taken if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, as it can cause serious harm to the unborn baby. It is only for use in women who have gone through the menopause.

Osteoporosis (bone thinning)

Anastrozole lowers oestrogen levels, which can significantly decrease bone mineral density and increase your risk of fractures. Your doctor should monitor your bone health before and during treatment.

Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin. It is absorbed much more effectively when taken with a meal that contains some fat (such as yoghurt, eggs, or avocado). Taking it on an empty stomach may reduce its effectiveness.
