Mechanism of Action

Anastrozole is a type of drug called an aromatase inhibitor. Aromatase inhibitors work by blocking the production of estrogen, a hormone that can help breast cancer cells grow.

Aromatase is an enzyme that converts androgens (male hormones) into estrogens. Anastrozole binds to the aromatase enzyme and blocks it from working. This prevents the production of estrogen, which can help to slow or stop the growth of breast cancer cells.

Lactation. Moderate or severe hepatic impairment, hyperlipidaemias. Laboratory test for menopause if status is doubtful. Bone mass density test should be conducted at the start of the therapy and at regular intervals thereafter.
