Patient summary
Anastrozole 1mg film-coated tablets, used in the management of breast cancer. A non-steroidal aromatase inhibitor that lowers circulating oestrogen.
Mechanism of action
This medicine acts as a potent and selective non-steroidal aromatase inhibitor. It lowers circulating oestrogen levels in post-menopausal women by blocking the enzyme responsible for the peripheral conversion of androgens into oestrogens, thereby limiting the growth of hormone-sensitive tumours.
Arimidex is the primary brand name for anastrozole, a medication used in the treatment of breast cancer. This therapy is supplied as a 1mg tablet. By reducing the concentration of the hormone oestrogen, it supports specific hormonal management protocols in patients diagnosed with this condition.
