BPRL Anstac Tablets

Anastrozole tablets contain a substance called anastrozole. This belongs to a group of medicines called ‘aromatase inhibitors’. Anastrozole tablets are used to treat breast cancer in women who have gone through the menopause.
Anastrozole tablets work by cutting down the amount of the hormone called estrogen that your body makes. It does this by blocking a natural substance (an enzyme) in your body called ‘aromatase'.
