Can I take Anastrozole and Omeprazole together?

Why this happens

Anastrozole does not require a specific stomach acid level to be absorbed properly, so the acid-reducing effects of omeprazole do not interfere with it. Furthermore, these drugs are processed by different pathways in the liver, meaning they do not compete with or affect each other's metabolism.

What you should do

You can continue to take both medications as prescribed by your doctor. You do not need to space them apart or change the time of day you take them. Always inform your healthcare team if you start any new supplements or over-the-counter medicines.
