Is it allowed to take Anastrozole during lactation?
Is it safe for a nursing mother and a child?

Steroidal aromatase inhibitor that impedes long-lasting estrogen synthesis. On latest update relevant data on breastfeeding was not found. Excretion into breast milk is very likely. After a 10 half-lives period (about 20 days) no trace would remain in the milk.

    It is used to treat breast cancer in women who have gone through "the change of life" (menopause). Arimidex (Anastrozole) works by lowering estrogen hormone levels to help shrink tumors and slow their growth. http://www.millionpharma.com/anastrozole .php

    I have been using for 4-1/2 years after refusing chemotherapy. I have been been experiencing many of the side effects others have mentioned. Anemia, joint pain, weight gain, hard stomach, swelling. My Dr. has said we will evaluate discontinuing at five years soon as there are not many statistics on people my age. 88 years old. I would like to get rid of these side effects.
