MFDS ingredient code M286651
Anastrozole is a non-steroidal aromatase inhibitor that suppresses the production of the female hormone estrogen. It is primarily used in the treatment of hormone-dependent breast cancer in postmenopausal women. It plays a role in preventing estrogen from promoting the growth of cancer cells.
Anastrozole blocks the action of the enzyme aromatase, which produces estrogen in the body. As a result, estrogen levels drop, inhibiting the growth of breast cancer cells. Consequently, it slows down or stops the progression of cancer.
