FAQ
What class does anastrozole belong to?
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.
What is the use of anastrozole in fertility?
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.
What is the drug anastrozole used for?
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.
