Anosam Tablet 5 contains Anastrozole (1 mg). Here's how it works on your body:

• Aromatase enzyme inhibition: Anastrozole targets and inhibits an enzyme known as aromatase. This enzyme plays a crucial role in the production of oestrogen, a hormone, in postmenopausal women.
• Reduction of oestrogen levels: By inhibiting the aromatase enzyme effectively, Anastrozole brings down oestrogen levels in the body.
• Slowing down cancer cell Growth: Lower levels of oestrogen mean slower growth of hormone-sensitive breast cancer cells. This ultimately helps manage breast cancer effectively.

• Store Anosam Tablet 5 at room temperature.
• Keep it in a tightly closed container to protect it from moisture and light.
• Ensure the medicine is out of reach from children.
• Always check the expiry date and use the medicine before it expires.
