What ANASTROZOLE
FBM is used for
ANASTROZOLE FBM is used to treat
breast cancer in women who no longer
have their menstrual periods either
naturally, due to their age or after
surgery, radiotherapy or chemotherapy.
ANASTROZOLE FBM is a non-
steroidal aromatase inhibitor, which
reduces the amount of oestrogen
(female sex hormone) made by the
body. In some types of breast cancer,
oestrogen can help the cancer cells
grow. By blocking oestrogen,
ANASTROZOLE FBM may slow or
stop the growth of cancer.

PHARMACOLOGY
PHARMACODYNAMIC PROPERTIES
Anastrozole is a potent and highly selective nonsteroidal aromatase
inhibitor. It
significantly lowers serum oestradiol concentrations and has no
detectable effect on
formation of adrenal corticosteroids or aldosterone.
Many breast cancers have oestrogen receptors and growth of these
tumours can be
stimulated by oestrogen. In postmenopausal women, oestradiol is
produced primarily
from the conversion of androstenedione to oestrone through the
aromatase enzyme
complex in peripheral tissues. Oestrone is subsequently converted to
oestradiol. Many
breast cancers also contain aromatase; the importance of tumour
generated oestrogens
is uncertain.
Reducing circulating oestradiol levels has been shown to produce a
beneficial effect
in women with breast cancer. In postmenopausal women, anastrozole at a
daily dose
of 1 mg produced oestradiol suppression of greater than 80% using a
highly sensitive
assay.
Anastrozole does not possess any progestogenic, androgenic or
oestrogenic activity.
Daily doses of anastrozole up to 10 mg do not have any effect on
cortisol or
aldosterone secretion, measured before or after standard
adrenocorticotropic hormone
(ACTH) challen
