Anastroz Tab 1 mg contains Anastrozole 1 mg, a prescription aromatase inhibitor primarily used for the treatment of hormone receptor-positive breast cancer in postmenopausal women. It works by reducing the production of estrogen in the body, helping slow or stop the growth of estrogen-dependent breast cancer cells. Anastrozole is commonly prescribed as adjuvant therapy after surgery or as a first-line treatment for advanced or metastatic breast cancer. Key Benefits Helps reduce estrogen levels in postmenopausal women. Used to treat early-stage and advanced hormone receptor-positive breast cancer.
