Description
Arimidex 1 mg Tablet – Targeted Hormone Therapy for Breast Cancer
Arimidex 1 mg Tablet contains Anastrozole, an aromatase inhibitor used in the treatment of hormone receptor-positive breast cancer in postmenopausal women. It works by lowering estrogen levels in the body, which helps slow or stop the growth of estrogen-dependent cancer cells.
By reducing estrogen production, Arimidex supports long-term disease control and helps lower the risk of cancer recurrence following primary treatment.
