1. What Anastrozole Liderfarm is and what it is used for

Anastrozole Liderfarm contains a substance called anastrozole and belongs to a group of medicines called 'aromatase inhibitors'. Anastrozole is used to treat breast cancer in women who have reached the menopause.

Anastrozole works by reducing the amount of hormones called oestrogens that are produced by your body, by blocking a natural substance (an enzyme) called 'aromatase'.

Effects on your bones

You should discuss the risks and treatment options with your doctor.

If you experience any side effects, talk to your doctor or pharmacist. This includes any possible side effects not listed in this leaflet.
