5:51 AM 		Anastrozole is a commonly prescribed medication for women with hormone receptor-positive breast cancer, particularly after menopause. It works by lowering estrogen levels in the body, helping to slow or stop the growth of certain types of breast cancer cells. While anastrozole is highly effective, its success depends not only on taking it correctly but also on making smart lifestyle and dietary choices.

Many patients wonder: What are the Foods to Avoid When Taking Anastrozole
? The truth is, certain foods and beverages can interfere with how the drug works or worsen its side effects. By understanding what to limit or eliminate, you can help your body get the full benefits of treatment while minimizing discomfort.

Why Diet Matters with Anastrozole
Anastrozole belongs to a class of drugs called aromatase inhibitors. These drugs reduce estrogen by blocking the enzyme aromatase, which converts androgens into estrogen. While effective, this sudden hormonal change can trigger side effects like
Hot flashes

Bone loss or osteoporosis

Joint pain and stiffness

Fatigue

Increased cholesterol levels

The food you eat can either help manage these side effects or make them worse. Certain foods may also interfere with drug absorption or alter how the body processes hormones. That’s why being mindful of your diet is an important part of breast cancer care.

Alcohol
One of the first things doctors recommend limiting is alcohol. Drinking wine, beer, or liquor while on anastrozole can have several drawbacks:
Increased risk of hot flashes—Alcohol dilates blood vessels, making hot flashes and night sweats more intense.


Bone health concerns – Since anastrozole already contributes to bone thinning, alcohol (which weakens bones) can increase the risk of osteoporosis and fractures.


Liver stress – Anastrozole is processed by the liver, and alcohol adds extra strain, potentially reducing how efficiently the drug works.
