Arimidex 1 mg (Anastrozole)

Anastrozole-containing medication Arimidex-1 mg is used to treat breast cancer in women who have gone through menopause. It functions by preventing the synthesis of estrogen, a hormone that can encourage the development of specific types of breast cancer.

Estrogen is primarily produced by fat cells in postmenopausal women through a process called aromatization. By blocking the aromatase enzyme, Arimidex for Women successfully lowers the body's estrogen levels. The progression of hormone receptor-positive breast cancer in women can be slowed or stopped by this intervention.

Arimidex lowers estradiol levels and raises testosterone in men. Furthermore, it has the ability to decrease the pituitary gland's response to estradiol, which raises follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH). Arimidex is mostly used to treat breast cancer in postmenopausal women and to help males with aberrant sperm characteristics. This medication has a lengthy half-life, meaning that it stays active in the body for a long time. Urine is the primary method of excretion once it is processed in the liver.

To maintain consistent blood levels, it is advised that men and women take 1 mg of Arimidex orally, with or without meal, at the same time every day. Anastrozole treatment typically lasts five years, though this can change according on the patient's specific situation.
