ARIMIDEX
	Arimidex
	Pronounced: AR-i-mi-deks  Generic name: Anastrozole  Arimidex is used in postmenopausal women to slow the growth of advanced cancer within the breast and cancer that has spread to other parts of the body. Arimidex is also used to treat advanced breast cancer in postmenopausal women whose disease has spread to other parts of the body following treatment with tamoxifen (Nolvadex), another anticancer drug.  Arimidex combats the kind of breast cancer that thrives on estrogen. One of the hormones produced by the adrenal gland is converted to a form of estrogen by an enzyme called aromatase. Arimidex suppresses this enzyme and thereby reduces the level of estrogen circulating in the body.  ADULTS The usual dose is a 1-milligram tablet taken once a day. If Arimidex is being used as an initial treatment for breast cancer, you may continue taking the medication until it becomes ineffective against the tumour.
