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 a brand of anastrozole, a non-steroidal aromatase inhibitor. It comes as 1mg film-coated tablets for oral use and is used in the management of breast cancer. The originator company is AstraZeneca.
Anastrozole blocks the enzyme that converts androgens into oestrogens, which lowers circulating oestrogen in post-menopausal women and limits the growth of hormone-sensitive tumours. Onset is 2 to 4 weeks. It is strictly for post-menopausal women, and must not be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding, since it may harm the fetus. It can also reduce bone density and increase the risk of fractures, so bone mineral density should be assessed regularly; the lipid profile should be monitored, and caution is needed in moderate to severe hepatic impairment.
