FAQs about Arimidex
What should I do if I miss a dose?
If you miss a dose of Arimidex, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule. Do not take two doses at the same time to make up for a missed dose. This information is provided in the Patient Counseling Information section of the label.
Can I take Arimidex while pregnant or breastfeeding?
Arimidex is not recommended for use during pregnancy as it may harm the fetus. It is also not advised for breastfeeding, as it is not known whether anastrozole is excreted in human milk. This information is outlined in the Contraindications and Warnings sections of the label.
Can I stop taking Arimidex suddenly?
The label does not specifically warn against abrupt discontinuation of Arimidex; however, it is important to consult your healthcare provider before making any changes to your medication regimen. Your prescriber will provide guidance based on your individual treatment plan. This information can be found in the Dosage and Administration section of the label.
How should I store Arimidex?
