Hi there,
Has anyone any information about the possible side effects of arimadex on the liver. I have been diagnosed with a non alcohol fatty liver which am worried is caused by arimadex. I haven’t had chemo which is another cause, but just wondered if anyone out there has had the same? Did you have to change pills? Am seeing the Oncolgist soon but thought there may be some help from others on here. many thanks

Hi Margaret,

Yes, I had that with both Tamoxifen and Arimidex. The oncologist said it’s nothing to worry about because we know it is caused by the anti-hormone treatment. I do remember another doctor in a diabetes practice being very nasty about it even though I’d told them what medication I was taking. But on the basis of my experience you shouldn’t worry.

Thank you Zeppa. I guessed it may be arimidex but am seeing oncologist next week and will chat to him. Will also phone the help line.
Thanks a lot
