Ingredients & How They Work

Anastrozole:
Arimidex contains anastrozole, an aromatase inhibitor that reduces the amount of estrogen produced in the body. Since certain breast cancers grow in response to estrogen, lowering estrogen levels helps slow tumor growth and prevents recurrence. It is commonly used following surgery or as a first-line treatment for advanced or metastatic breast cancer.
