Description
Arimidex 1mg Tablets contain Anastrozole, a potent aromatase inhibitor that reduces the amount of estrogen in the body. Lowering estrogen levels helps slow or stop the growth of hormone receptor-positive breast cancer.
Uses:
-
Treatment of early breast cancer in postmenopausal women
-
Treatment of advanced or metastatic breast cancer after progression on tamoxifen

Anastrozole blocks the aromatase enzyme, which is responsible for converting androgens into estrogen. This significantly lowers estrogen levels in postmenopausal women, depriving cancer cells of the hormones they need to grow.
