It works by reducing estrogen hormone levels in your body. It is primarily administered to women who have gone through menopause and have hormone-dependent breast cancer.
Anastrozole belongs to a class of drugs known as nonsteroidal aromatase inhibitors. It works by reducing the quantity of estrogen produced by the body. Many forms of breast cancer cells that require estrogen to proliferate can be slowed or stopped by this.
Anastrazole inhibits aromatase activity, resulting in increased testosterone levels and reduced estrogen levels. Anastrozole can also increase FSH and LH levels by blocking the negative feedback that estradiol has on the pituitary gland.
Anastrozole is a medication that is used to treat early hormone receptor-positive breast cancer. It is also used as the first-line therapy for advanced or metastatic (cancer that has spread) hormone receptor-positive or hormone receptor-unknown breast cancer.
