Can I take Anastrozole and Vitamin B12 together?

Perché succede

Anastrozole and vitamin B12 are processed by the body through different pathways. Anastrozole is primarily broken down by the liver, while vitamin B12 is absorbed in the gut and used for nerve health and blood cell production. They do not interfere with each other's absorption, metabolism, or effectiveness.

You can continue taking both as prescribed. However, it is always a good idea to inform your doctor or pharmacist about all supplements you are taking, especially during cancer treatment.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

You must not take anastrozole if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, as it can harm the developing baby. It is only for use in women who have gone through the menopause.

Osteoporosis (bone thinning)

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

Alcol

Excessive alcohol consumption can interfere with the absorption of Vitamin B12 in the digestive tract. If you are taking B12 to treat a deficiency, heavy drinking may make the treatment less effective.
