Multi vitamins with Anastrozole

Hi, just joined the forum, had grade 2 lumpectomy and lymph node removal. Have been floored by how painful it is and how long it is taking to get over. I know its nothing compared to what some of you are going through. Feel terrible when I moan about my aches!

I was wondering if any of you knew if you can take multiple vitamins with Anastrozole? Ive read through some of the side effects some of you are going through and I do feel for you. Only been taking a few days so no adverse effects yet. Used to take multivitamin and wonder if i still can

Thanks

  • Hi Suehutz and welcome to the Cancer Chat community.

    I'm sorry for how much pain you've been in since you had your lumpectomy and lymph node removal. Hopefully some of our members who have had this done will give you some tips and advice that will help with your recovery but do be sure to let your GP or medical team know if the pain is becoming unmanageable as they will be able to provide you with some pain relief and offer advice on how to manage the pain.

    Cancer drugs can interact with some other medicines and herbal products so it would be best to check with your GP or pharmacist on whether you can take your multi-vitamins alongside Anastrozole. 

    Our friendly and supportive team of cancer nurses are available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5pm if you'd like to discuss this with them as well.

    Kind regards,

    Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
