Arimidex

How would taking a drug for MS--Copaxone--affect taking Arimidex at the same time?  The side effects appear similar but doubling that muscle pain might be too much to bear.

Dear regalhank:  Taking any combination of medications should always be evaluated in the context of the individual situation – considering risks and benefits and making a determination.  In some cases, side effects can be compounded and in other cases, there may be no additional effects.  Sometimes it is not known until it is tried.  You should discuss this with your oncologist and neurologist and they should be able to offer the best advice for your specific situation.
