Anastrozole is an aromatase inhibitor, which interrupts a critical step in the body’s synthesis of estrogen. Some breast cancer cells require estrogen to grow, and eliminating estrogen suppresses their growth.
Roxane Laboratories said that the product is now made available in bottles of 30 for immediate shipment to wholesalers and pharmacies.
Roxane Laboratories claimed that its Anastrozole tablets are AB rated to Arimidex (anastrozole) tablets, a product of AstraZeneca.
