Description
Arimidex 1mg Tablets- Anastrozole 1mg, 28 Tablets
Arimidex 1mg tablets contain a substance called anastrozole. This belongs to a group of medicines called ‘aromatase inhibitors’.
Arimidex is used to treat breast cancer in women who have gone through menopause. This medication can block the growth of breast cancer. It may also be used to treat other types of cancer, as determined by your doctor. Arimidex is a hormone treatment and works by lowering the amount of estrogen in your body. This can help to relieve symptoms associated with breast cancer, such as hot flashes, joint pain, and osteoporosis. Arimidex is available in tablet form and should be taken once a day, with or without food.
Arimidex works by cutting down the amount of the hormone called estrogen that your body makes. It does this by blocking a natural substance (an enzyme) in your body called ‘aromatase’.
