Results from the clinical trial bone substudy at 12 and 24 months demonstrated that patients receiving anastrozole had a mean decrease in both lumbar spine and total hip bone mineral density (BMD) compared to baseline. Caution should exercise when prescribing this agent to patients with a risk of fractures, such as the elderly and patients with osteoporosis. Consider bone mineral density monitoring in patients treated with anastrozole.
