Arimidex (Anastrozole) is a drug used to treat breast cancer. It has a similar mechanism of action as that of tamoxifen. It acts by blocking estrogen receptors at the post-transcriptional level.
Arimidex is also used in post-menopausal women to reduce the risk of breast cancer and to reduce the risk of developing osteoporosis.
Arimidex binds to estrogen receptors, specifically the estrogen receptor, in breast tissue. This helps reduce the risk of certain types of cancer in a particular area.
Arimidex works by blocking the action of estrogen at the estrogen receptor, which reduces the amount of circulating estrogen. This leads to an increase in the amount of estrogen in breast tissue.
The action of a medication is not just a drug. A drug is an entire body part that has been subjected to a treatment for a disease or condition. The drug is part of a complex which is comprised of a drug and a substance, which are part of the body’s structure. This complex is the result of an imbalance of proteins (protein synthesis), which are the vital part of the body’s structure.
Arimidex is prescribed for a number of conditions that affect the growth and development of the breast tissue. A number of conditions include:
