Benefits Of Anatero

Anatero (Anastrozole 1mg) provides significant benefits for postmenopausal women diagnosed with hormone receptor-positive breast cancer. Its primary advantage lies in its ability to block the enzyme aromatase, which reduces estrogen levels in the body—an essential factor since many breast cancers rely on estrogen to grow. By lowering estrogen, Anatero helps slow or stop the progression of the disease, making it effective in both early-stage and advanced cases.
Often used as adjuvant therapy after tamoxifen or on its own.
