Anastrozole and urge incontinence

Hi. I have been on anastrozole for 6 months and  am beginning to get urge to pee suddenly.. Sometime  I have to go again after 15 mins but nothing much there. Is there a connection with the anastrozole. I also find I getting up in night more than I used to. Best wishes Jan 

  • Hello and thanks for your post

    Anastrozole doesn't usually cause urinary symptoms and you can read more about this here on our website.  But people can vary in the side effects they experience.

    Probably the best thing to do is to speak to your doctor about your symptoms. They can assess you and decide if you need to have any further tests. If you have a breast specialist nurse involved in your care then perhaps they can provide you with further information. You often have to call and leave them a message and they will get back to you.  

    I hope this is of some use. Give us a ring if you would like to talk anything over. The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

    Kind regards,
