Arimidex to Treat Breast Cancer in Women

Arimidex, or Anastrozole, is an effective medication that is used to improve the symptoms of breast cancer in women of postmenstrual period. The treatment acts lowering the estrogen levels that slow down the growth and development of definite types of tumors in the breast (especially those that require estrogen to spread in the body). Arimidex can be combined with diverse medications for a better effect. The drug is usually given to women whose cancer continued progressing even after Tamoxifen course. Consult your healthcare provider for other Arimidex uses.

Recommendations for Arimidex Use

Talk to your doctor primarily to the beginning of Arimidex treatment course. The physician will adjust a proper dose, intake periodicity and duration of the course, according to the severity of your condition and general health state.
