Thinking about switching when you take your anastrozole? That's a pretty common thing to consider, especially if timing affects how you feel throughout the day.
The key principle with anastrozole is consistency — taking it at the same time every day matters more than *which* time you choose.
When shifting from noon to morning, a general approach is:
- Take your last noon dose as usual
- The next morning, begin your new morning schedule
- This creates a shorter gap (roughly 18–20 hours) just once, which is generally considered acceptable That said, it's always best to check with your oncology team before making any timing changes. They can confirm the safest way to make the switch based on your specific treatment plan.
Some MyBCTeam members have found that switching timing helped with side effects, while others noticed no difference at all — so it's worth trying if your current schedule isn't working for you!
