did u ever hear of anyone having heart problems when taking arimedix?
Answers:
I take Arimedex.I have an aratic heart beat.I take coragord for it and I`m fine.My doc told me that I couldn`t take Tomoxine because of that and so she prescriped arimedex.I was also told that there hadn`tbeen enough study on my type of case to see if taking any type of pill would help my type of cancer.It wasn`t estregon related and only one percent progestone.My Radioligist said that it would be guess work and didn`t think I would have to take cemo at all.Now that I see this when I go see my doctor in two weeks I will ask about heart side effects.Thanks for asking question
Other Answers:
Clinical data shows that all Aromatase Inhibitors (which Anastrozole is [brand name Arimidex]) have the potential for adverse cardiovascular events including chest pain, hypertension and thrombophlebitis. Your doctor should have reviewed this risk with you at the time of prescribing. You can review the entire prescribing information yourself if you'd like at http://www.astrazeneca-us.com/pi/arimidex.pdf.
In studies comparing cardiac events in Aromatase Inhibitors vs. Tamoxifen, the rate of events was far greater with Anastrozole verus Tamoxifen, leading researchers to conclude that the risk requires careful monitoring.
Hope that helps.
