First tamoxifen came out.
Then Arimidex.
Then Femara.
Then Aromasin.
Although Arimidex, Femara, and Aromasin are all aromatase inhibitors, Aromasin is different from Arimidex and Femara in that Aromasin is a steroidal, and in that it actually works differently and more permanently than Arimidex and Femara. This could be a good or bad, possibly, depending on what effects it has that are not as desirable as the effects it has that are, and none of the 3 AI's have a really long history yet of being studied long-term. None of these are perfect solutions. Joint pain is a very common complaint with the use of aromatase inhibitors. They all are intended to stop the production of estrogen in the body.
