Anastrozole 1mg Tablet IP

Anastrozole 1mg tablets are a medication primarily used in the treatment of hormone receptor-positive breast cancer, particularly in postmenopausal women. It belongs to a class of drugs known as aromatase inhibitors.

Aromatase inhibitors work by blocking the enzyme aromatase, which is responsible for the conversion of androgens (hormones produced by the adrenal glands) into estrogens (female hormones) in the body. By inhibiting estrogen production, anastrozole helps to reduce estrogen levels in the body, thereby slowing or stopping the growth of hormone-sensitive breast cancer cells that require estrogen to grow.
