1. What is Anastrozol Combix and what is it used for

Anastrozol Combix contains a substance called anastrozol and belongs to a group of medicines called aromatase inhibitors. Anastrozol is used to treat breast cancer in women who are in menopause.

Anastrozol works by reducing the amount of hormones called estrogens that are produced by your body, by blocking a natural bodily substance (an enzyme) called “aromatase”.

Use of Anastrozol Combix with other medications

Inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are using or have recently used other medications, including those purchased without a prescription and herbal remedies. This is because anastrozol may affect the activity of other medications, and some medications may have an effect on anastrozol.

Consult your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking the following:

  • A medication known as an “LHRH analog”. This includes gonadorelina, buserelina, goserelina, leuprorelina, and triptorelina. These medications are used to treat breast cancer, certain gynecological health conditions, and infertility.
