How Does Armotraz 1mg Work

Armotraz 1mg works by reducing the levels of estrogen in the body, which is essential for the growth of certain types of breast cancer. Its active ingredient, Anastrozole, is a nonsteroidal aromatase inhibitor. Aromatase is an enzyme responsible for converting androgens (male hormones) into estrogens (female hormones) in postmenopausal women.

Benefits Of Armotraz 1mg

Armotraz 1mg offers several important benefits, particularly for postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive breast cancer. Its primary benefit lies in its ability to lower estrogen levels in the body by inhibiting the enzyme aromatase. Since certain types of breast cancer rely on estrogen to grow, reducing this hormone helps to slow down or stop tumor growth.

Who Should Not Take Armotraz 1mg

Armotraz 1mg (Anastrozole) should not be taken by certain individuals due to potential health risks and lack of effectiveness in specific populations.

Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should also avoid Armotraz, as it may harm the unborn baby or nursing infant. Additionally, people with a known allergy or hypersensitivity to Anastrozole or any of the tablet’s ingredients should not take this medication.
