Aromatin Tablet 1 mg contains Anastrozole, a non-steroidal aromatase inhibitor used in the treatment of hormone receptor-positive breast cancer in postmenopausal women. It works by lowering the body's estrogen levels, which helps slow or stop the growth of certain breast cancers that depend on estrogen to grow.

Estrogen can stimulate the growth of hormone-sensitive breast cancer cells. Anastrozole blocks the aromatase enzyme, which is responsible for converting androgens into estrogen in postmenopausal women. By reducing estrogen production, Aromatin Tablet helps decrease the risk of cancer progression and recurrence.

Aromatin Tablet may be used as initial therapy for early breast cancer, as adjuvant treatment after surgery, or for the treatment of advanced or metastatic breast cancer, depending on the patient's clinical condition and the oncologist's recommendation.

How Aromatin Tablet Works

Anastrozole selectively inhibits the aromatase enzyme, which plays a key role in estrogen production after menopause.

Its action helps to:

• Reduce estrogen levels in the body
• Slow or stop the growth of hormone-sensitive breast cancer cells
• Lower the risk of breast cancer recurrence
• Help control the progression of advanced breast cancer

Because it specifically targets estrogen production, Anastrozole is effective only in postmenopausal women and is not indicated for premenopausal women unless specifically advised by an oncologist.
