Can I take Anastrozole and Vitamin d together?

Why this happens

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.

What you should do

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.
