What supplements can you have if you're taking Anastrazole?

Is it safe to take a colllegen supplement whilst take Anastrazole tablets

  • Hello and thanks for your enquiry,

    Unfortunately, we cannot advise you very specifically on this. There doesn't seem to be any specific guidelines to use as a reference. Most supplements are safe if taken within the daily recommended dose as suggested on the product.

    The main supplement that is contraindicated is phyto oestrogens supplements, and this itself is poorly researched area, so doctors tend to veer on the side of caution with these.

    Taking a daily multi vitamin daily and taking fresh fruit and vegetables daily can help boost energy. They contain natural sources of vitamins. Taking a daily vitamin D supplement is recommended by the NHS for good health. There is scientific evidence to support it's use. Many supplements are not studied as well, so we don't don't know their full effects.

    A pharmacist may be able to check this out for you in relation to other medications and taking supplements. We always suggest that when you can, just let your GP know what you are taking so they know.

    I hope this helps,

    Best wishes,

    Vanda
