Q: I'm switching from Arimidex to Aromasin. Do I need to "phase out", or have a time with no pills?

Hi - On the contrary, I'd think you would want to keep those aromatase inhibitors coming, whatever form they take: Arimidex or Aromasin. Your doctor would be the one to answer this question for sure, but I know that it's important to take an AI regularly in order to realize its full effectiveness. Good luck - hope the Aromasin doesn't come with too many side effects! - PJH
