Arimidex 1 Tablet is used to treat hormone receptor-positive breast cancer in women who have been through the menopause, in both early-stage and advanced disease where the tumour grows in response to the hormone oestrogen. It contains anastrozole, an aromatase inhibitor.
This tablet lowers oestrogen levels in the body, which helps slow or stop the growth of cancer cells that depend on this hormone. Take it at about the same time each day, as prescribed.
Getting enough calcium and vitamin D, doing regular weight-bearing exercise, keeping to a healthy weight, stopping smoking and limiting alcohol help protect bone and heart health; your doctor may arrange regular bone density and cholesterol checks.
Tell your doctor about any liver problems, osteoporosis or other medicines you take. It must not be used before the menopause. Do not stop taking this medicine unless your doctor advises you to do so.
