Anastrozole Api IP BP USP

Anastrozole (commonly sold under the brand name Arimidex) is a prescription aromatase inhibitor used to treat and prevent hormone receptor-positive breast cancer in postmenopausal women. It works by decreasing estrogen production in the body, slowing or stopping the growth of cancer cells that rely on estrogen to multiply. How It Works Mechanism: It blocks the aromatase enzyme, which converts androgens into estrogen in peripheral tissues (like fat and muscle). Who it's for: Exclusively used in postmenopausal women because a woman's ovaries stop producing most estrogen, making these peripheral tissues the primary source. Common Uses Early-stage breast cancer: Taken as an "adjuvant" therapy (alongside surgery or radiation) to prevent cancer from returning. Advanced breast cancer: Used as a first-line treatment if the cancer has spread, or following treatments like tamoxifen. Prevention: Occasionally used off-label to prevent breast cancer in women who are at a very high risk About the Company GST Registration Date: 2024 Legal Status of Firm: Proprietorship Number of Employees: Upto 10 People Annual Turnover: 0 - 40 L
