How It Works

Anastrozole 1mg Tablet is an aromatase inhibitor that works by blocking the enzyme called aromatase, which helps in estrogen production. In menopausal women, most estrogens are produced by converting the androgens into estrogens in various tissues, including adrenal glands, skin, muscles, and fat. Anastrozole blocks this conversion and reduces the amount of estrogen in the body. This helps to lower or stop the growth of some breast cancer that needs estrogen to grow.
