What does anastrozole do to your body?
-
Anastrozole Uses to reduce the level of estrogen. It accomplishes this by inhibiting the activity of aromatase, a body enzyme. Anastrozole is a medication that works by decreasing the amount of estrogen (a hormone) in your body. It usually happens for women who have gone through menopause and have hormone-dependent breast cancer. It can also be used to prevent breast cancer if you're at high risk and have gone through menopause, as well as to treat breast cancer in males and younger women before menopause.
