Anastrozole Side Effect Monitoring

Meaning

Clinical practice of systematically assessing a patient for adverse physiological responses associated with Anastrozole therapy. This monitoring is crucial because Anastrozole, an aromatase inhibitor, significantly reduces circulating estrogen levels, which can impact multiple organ systems. Key areas of focus include bone mineral density, lipid profiles, cardiovascular markers, and musculoskeletal symptoms like arthralgia. Regular evaluations ensure the therapeutic benefits outweigh the risks and allow for timely intervention or dosage adjustment.
