If you have forgotten to take your anastrozole dose, try to take it as soon as possible. But if it is close to the time for the next dose just take the next dose and continue your usual dosing times. In order to remember to take your anastrozole, consider taking it at the same time everyday. Anastrozole can be taken with or without food.

You should not double your dose if a dose has been missed.
