ARIMIDEX side effects:
Treatment with ARIMIDEX (pronounced a-RIM-ih-dex) may cause side effects. In the early breast cancer clinical trial, the most common side effects seen with ARIMIDEX include hot flashes, joint symptoms, weakness, mood changes, pain, sore throat, nausea and vomiting, depression, high blood pressure, osteoporosis, swelling of arms/legs, and headache. Fractures (including fractures of the spine, hip, and wrist) occurred more frequently with ARIMIDEX than with tamoxifen (10% vs 7%).

If you want to learn about the possible side effects of ARIMIDEX, it may help to understand the findings of the early breast cancer clinical trial, called the ATAC study ("ARIMIDEX, Tamoxifen Alone or in Combination"). In this study, side effects and complications of treatment with ARIMIDEX were compared with those of the anti estrogen medication tamoxifen.

To understand how ARIMIDEX works, you first need to understand the meaning of several key terms:

Aromatase is an enzyme that is found in the liver, fat, muscle, and breast cancer cells. In women who are postmenopausal, aromatase changes androgens (hormones produced in the adrenal glands) to the hormone estrogen. Some breast cancer tumors grow when the hormone estrogen is present.

ARIMIDEX is a medication called an aromatase inhibitor. ARIMIDEX works by blocking aromatase, therefore reducing the amount of estrogen in the body AROMATASE.

Aromatase is an enzyme required for the conversion of androgens to estrogens. Aromatase inhibitors thus decrease the concentrations of estrogens in the body and are effective against tumors that depend on estrogen for growth.

They are usually used as second-line therapy (after tamoxifen) for the treatment of breast cancer in postmenopausal women.

AROMATASE, an enzyme found in the liver, is responsible for the conversion of the androgens ANDROSTENEDIONE and TESTOSTERONE into the estrogens ESTRONE and ESTRADIOL. By inhibiting aromatase the body produces less estrogen and maintains a higher testosterone state.However, only this single pathway is blocked. There are many other pathways that produce Estrogen , and are independent of Aromatase that are not blocked by Arimidex.

The metaphor is ...like having the Police block traffic only on one street into the City, when there are another 5 streets leading into the City.

Other sources of Estrogen, independent of Aromatase are:

• The Adrenals - produces Estrogens that are not blocked by Arimidex.
• The Adipose Tissue (Fat) - produces Estrogens that are not blocked by Arimidex.
• The Ovaries - produces 700% more Estrogens than inhibited by Aromatase , also not blocked.
• The Environment. - xeno-estrogens , which can be the most toxic are not blocked by Arimidex.

Logic would be to try and block Estrogen from ALL sources , not just one pathway as does Arimidex. Therefore, Tamoxifen , if tolerated, could be a better choice. Unfortunately , Tamoxifen only costs pennies per tablet , whereas Arimidex costs $5…that’s right FIVE dollars a pill. Obviously, Tamoxifen is not a profitable drug for Doctors and the Pharmaceutical companies to market.

In addition there are many absolutely vital nutritional products that women must have to reduce their chances of getting Breast Cancer. There are now thousands of research papers showing how these natural products can benefit and help reduce the incidence and spread of Breast Cancer.
