How does Arimidex affect sexuality?
Marisa Weiss, M.D., president and founder: Arimidex is an aromatase inhibitor, which reduces the amount of estrogen produced in your body after menopause. It is used in women after menopause who have hormone-receptor-positive breast cancer. There is a huge study going on right now that is looking at how Arimidex treats breast cancer and also how Arimidex affects quality of life. These important data will be available in about a year. Right now we don’t have a good answer to your excellent question. If your doctor prescribed Arimidex for you and if you take it, keep tabs on how it’s affecting you from all points of view.
