Buy Arimidex Astra Zeneca
Arimidex oral tablets consist of 1mg of Anastrozole (a non-steroidal aromatase inhibitor). It is an anti-cancer drug used for the initial treatment of breast cancer in post-menopausal women. Most breast cancers depend on the hormone estrogen for their growth. After menopause, the production of estrogen in the ovaries ceases, but it continues in the fatty tissues of the body. In general, this 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 the production of estrogen in the body. Eventually, this will lead to reduction in tumor size or 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 that often interact with estrogen leading to gynecomastia, otherwise known as enlarged breasts in men.
When is it used?
