Question 6

can arimidex (anastrozole) cause facial nerve numbness?

Accepted Answer

Probably not: Arimidex (anastrozole) is a drug that blocks the conversion of certain sex hormones to estrogen, which is useful to treat tumors that depend on estrogen to grow (such as certain estrogen-sensitive breast cancers). Nerve damage (neuropathy) is not a listed side effect, but occasional tingling feelings in the fingers can occur.

can arimidex (anastrozole) be used to help stop the bone plates to fuse to early?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Arimidex (anastrozole) (generic called anastrazole) is an aromatase inhibitor. It works by inhibiting the conversion of testosterone to estrogen via the aromatase enzyme, hence the name. Such inhibition means that there will be less estrogen exposure at the growth plates allowing delayed closure (a process that is estrogen dependent) . Talk with your endocrinology specialist, esp that its use remain off label.

Same as: Clinical hypothyroidism. With synthroid (thyroxine) but instead of titrating your dose based on symptoms and TSH & ft4 level we would just monitor symptoms.
