PubMed talked about: third generation AI's, letrozole, anastrozole & exemestane. The side effects and safety issues are what this article is discussing. This study was done by the Mayo Clinic and submitted in Feb. 2007 so fairly recent.

What can you tell me about Aromasin?

And I would still like to hear from some women who are taking AI's.
