What is Arimidex 1mg?
Arimidex contains anastrazole, a potent aromatase inhibitor. This medication blocks the enzyme aromatase, which converts androgens into estrogen. By reducing estrogen levels, Arimidex helps prevent the growth of hormone-sensitive breast cancer cells in post-menopausal women. Unlike selective estrogen receptor modulators such as tamoxifen, Arimidex directly inhibits estrogen production, making it a preferred choice for many oncologists.
Clinical Uses and Effectiveness
Doctors prescribe Arimidex Tablets 1mg for hormone receptor-positive breast cancer in post-menopausal women. It treats both early and advanced breast cancer, including cases where tamoxifen therapy has failed. Clinical studies confirm Arimidex’s effectiveness in reducing cancer recurrence and improving disease-free survival. Your physician may recommend Arimidex as first-line therapy or as extended treatment after initial therapy.
Dosage and Administration
The standard dosage is one 1mg tablet taken orally once daily, at the same time each day. You may take Arimidex with or without food. Always follow your doctor’s instructions and do not change your dose without medical advice. Treatment duration often lasts five years for adjuvant therapy, but your physician will tailor the plan to your needs.

Important Contraindications
Do not use Arimidex if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or pre-menopausal. The medication is not effective in pre-menopausal women and may harm a developing fetus or nursing infant. Patients with severe renal or hepatic impairment require close monitoring. Avoid using Arimidex with hormone replacement therapy (HRT) or estrogen-containing medicines, as these reduce its effectiveness.
