Product Introduction
Anamit tablet is an anticancer medication containing Anastrozole, an aromatase inhibitor. It is indicated for the treatment of hormone-dependent breast cancer in postmenopausal women. Aromatase inhibitors work by reducing oestrogen levels through inhibition of an enzyme in adipose tissue that converts other hormones to oestrogen. This medication is used to delay recurrence of early-stage breast cancer. Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, fever, itching, joint inflammation (arthritis), bone loss (osteoporosis), vaginal bleeding, hypersensitivity reactions, and joint, stomach, and kidney pain. Patients with allergies to Anastrozole or its ingredients should inform their doctor before commencing treatment with this medication. Notify your doctor if menstruation is still occurring and menopause has not yet been reached, if osteoporosis is present, or if there are any liver or kidney complications. Patients with lactose intolerance should consult their doctor prior to taking this medicine. This medication must not be taken during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
