Anastrozole Tablet, 1 mg

Description

Anastrozole (1 mg) is a non-steroidal aromatase inhibitor that works by reducing estrogen levels in the body. It is commonly prescribed for the treatment and prevention of estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer in postmenopausal women. By blocking the enzyme aromatase, which converts androgens into estrogen, Anastrozole helps slow the growth of hormone-dependent tumors. It is usually taken once daily, with or without food. Treatment duration varies, often lasting 5 years or more, depending on medical guidance. Possible side effects include hot flashes, joint pain, osteoporosis, and fatigue.
