Buy Arimidex Hilma Biocare

Arimidex oral tablets contain 1 mg of anastrozole (a non-steroidal aromatase inhibitor). It is an anti-cancer drug used for the initial treatment of breast cancer in postmenopausal women. Most breast cancers depend on the hormone estrogen for their growth. After menopause, estrogen production in the ovaries ceases, but it continues in the body's fatty tissues. This usually occurs when the aromatase enzyme converts other enzymes into estrogen. This type of breast cancer is often called estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer.

Anastrozole is an aromatase inhibitor. It works by blocking an aromatase enzyme responsible for estrogen production in the body. Ultimately, this will lead to a reduction in tumor size or a slowing of tumor growth in some women.

Weightlifters are also targeted by the use of Arimidex for bodybuilding to reduce the effects of anabolic androgenic steroids which often interact with estrogen, leading to gynecomastia, otherwise known as breast enlargement in men.

When is it used?

This medication is generally used after surgery and other treatments to help reduce the risk of early breast cancer recurring. It is also used to control breast cancer that has spread to other parts of the body, also known as secondary breast cancer.
