Introduction of Anastrozole

Anastrozole is used alone or with other treatments such as surgery or radiation to treat breast cancer in postmenopausal women (women who no longer get their periods).

Anastrozole is in a class of drugs known as non-steroidal aromatase inhibitors. It decreases the amount of estrogen the body makes. This can slow or stop the growth of many types of breast cancer cells that need estrogen to grow. The length of treatment depends on the types of drugs you are taking, how well your body responds to them, and the type of cancer you have.

Anastrozole is usually taken once a day with or without food. Take anastrozole at around the same time every day.
