For those navigating hormone receptor-positive breast cancer, the journey doesn’t end when active treatment stops. Many are prescribed aromatase inhibitors (AIs)—a long-term hormone therapy designed to reduce the risk of recurrence, but what comes next is often filled with uncertainty, side effects, and emotional fatigue.
That’s why we created the Aromatase Inhibitor Toolkit, in partnership with Walgreens Specialty Pharmacy. This resource was designed with patients in mind—built on direct feedback from those who have walked this path, faced the side effects, and needed more answers and support.
We gathered 32 of the most common patient questions, answered directly by Walgreens oncology-trained pharmacists, to provide clear, medically vetted information that helps guide you through this part of your journey—physically, emotionally, and mentally.
Aromatase inhibitors are medications that reduce the amount of estrogen in the body, helping to prevent recurrence in estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer.
The most commonly prescribed AIs include:
These medications are typically taken for 5 to 10 years and are a critical part of post-treatment care for many breast cancer survivors.

— Dr. William Audeh, Medical Oncologist & Learn Look Locate Medical Advisor
