Arimidex 1mg 1gm Tablet, made by Ici Pharmaceuticals, is an aromatase inhibitor hormone therapy. Its active ingredient is Anastrozole 1mg, and it is used for hormone-sensitive breast cancer after the menopause, early breast cancer, advanced breast cancer and breast cancer risk reduction. Pack size: 2×14 tablets.

Uses of Arimidex 1mg 1gm Tablet

Arimidex 1mg 1gm Tablet is used to treat hormone-receptor-positive breast cancer in women who have been through the menopause. It is given after surgery for early breast cancer to lower the chance of the cancer returning, and also for breast cancer that has spread. In some women at high risk, specialists use it to reduce the chance of developing breast cancer.

How Arimidex 1mg 1gm Tablet works

After the menopause, most oestrogen is made by converting other hormones using an enzyme called aromatase. Anastrozole blocks this enzyme, lowering oestrogen levels so that hormone-sensitive breast cancer cells are deprived of the hormone that helps them grow.

Possible side effects

Side effects of Arimidex 1mg 1gm Tablet are linked to lower oestrogen levels and include:

• Hot flushes
• Joint pain or stiffness
• Tiredness
• Headache
• Nausea
• Thinning hair

See a doctor promptly for unusual vaginal bleeding, severe joint pain, a broken bone after a minor fall, or a severe skin reaction or swelling of the face.

Precautions and warnings

• It can thin the bones, so your doctor may check bone density and recommend calcium, vitamin D or other bone protection.
• It is only effective in women who have been through the menopause; it must not be used in pregnancy or breastfeeding.
• Do not take medicines containing oestrogen, such as HRT, as they cancel out its effect.
• Tell your doctor if you have liver or kidney problems or high cholesterol.
• Keep taking it for as long as your specialist advises, even if you feel well.

Storage

Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep it in the original pack until use. Keep all medicines out of the reach of children.
