Can I take Anastrozole and Vitamin b12 together?

Why this happens

Anastrozole and vitamin B12 are processed by the body through different pathways. Anastrozole is primarily broken down by the liver, while vitamin B12 is absorbed in the gut and used for nerve health and blood cell production. They do not interfere with each other's absorption, metabolism, or effectiveness.

What you should do

You can continue taking both as prescribed. However, it is always a good idea to inform your doctor or pharmacist about all supplements you are taking, especially during cancer treatment.
