Anastrozole SUN 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 are post-menopausal.

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