Arimidex, with the active ingredient Anastrozole, is a non-steroidal aromatase inhibitor (AI) commonly prescribed for postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (estrogen-responsive) breast cancer. It works by lowering estrogen levels in the body, which helps slow or stop the growth of certain types of breast tumors that rely on estrogen to grow.
Arimidex is often used as part of hormone therapy following surgery or radiation and may also be prescribed to reduce the risk of cancer recurrence. It is a trusted alternative to tamoxifen and similar medications for patients requiring long-term hormonal treatment.
