Anastrozole – An Anti-Breast Cancer Medication used to treat breast cancer in postmenopausal women. It belongs to the class of medications known as aromatase inhibitors, which function by reducing the body's estrogen levels. Because some breast cancers grow in response to estrogen, lowering its production can help halt or stop the progression of these cancer cells. Anastrozole is routinely recommended for patients with early-stage hormone receptor-positive breast cancer. It can also be used to treat advanced breast cancer that has spread following previous treatments, such as tamoxifen. The standard dosage is 1 mg taken once daily, with or without food. Anastrozole should be taken at the same time every day to keep levels stable in your body. While many women manage Anastrozole well, some may develop negative effects such as hot flashes, joint discomfort, nausea, and exhaustion. Regular check-ups with a healthcare practitioner are required to monitor any side effects and determine the success of the medication. Anastrozole is typically taken for several years, perhaps up to five. Continuing the medication even when you feel fine is critical for the best results. Overall, anastrozole is effective in treating breast cancer and increasing survival rates for many people. Always visit your doctor for customized advice on your treatment strategy.
