Re: Generic Anastrozole
I was also concerned when I received the generic for Arimidex in July 2010. I called my onc's office and was reassured that the generic was fine and that the onc was now prescribing the generic for everyone that had been using Arimidex.
And what a difference in cost! Arimidex had been $409.49; Anastrozole is $25.50.
