Anastrozole

Read this package insert carefully before starting to take this medication, as it contains important information for you.

  • Keep this package insert, as you may need to refer to it again.
  • If you have any questions, consult your doctor or pharmacist.
  • This medication has been prescribed only for you and should not be given to others even if they have the same symptoms, as it may harm them.

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

Anastrozol Teva 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 in menopause.

Anastrozole 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”.

2. What you need to know before starting to take Anastrozole Teva

Do not take Anastrozol Teva

  • If you are allergic (hypersensitive) to anastrozole or to any of the other components of this medication (listed in section 6).
  • If you are pregnant or breastfeeding (see the section called “Pregnancy and breastfeeding”).

Do not take Anastrozol Teva if you find yourself in any of the situations described above. If you are unsure, consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking Anastrozol Teva.

Warnings and precautions

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking Anastrozol Teva

  • If you still have menstrual periods and have not reached menopause.
  • If you are taking a medication that contains tamoxifen or medications that contain estrogen (see the section called “Use of Anastrozol Teva with other medications”).
  • If you have ever had any condition that affects the strength of your bones (osteoporosis).
  • If you have any liver or kidney problems.

If you are unsure about whether anything affects you, consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking anastrozole.

In case you are admitted to the hospital, inform the healthcare staff that you are taking anastrozole.

Use in children and adolescents

Anastrozole should not be administered to children and adolescents.

Use of Anastrozol Teva with other medications

Inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are using/taking, have used/taken recently, or may need to use/take any other medication, including those acquired without a prescription and herbal remedies. This is because anastrozole may affect the activity of other medications, and some medications may have an effect on anastrozole.

Do not take anastrozole if you are already being treated with any of the following medications:

  • Certain medications used to treat breast cancer (selective estrogen receptor modulators), for example, medications that contain tamoxifen. This is because these medications may make anastrozole stop working properly.
  • Medications that contain estrogens, such as hormone replacement therapy (HRT).

If you find yourself in any of these situations, seek advice from your doctor or pharmacist.

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

  • A medication known as an “LHRH analog”. This includes gonadorelin, buserelin, goserelin, leuprorelin, and triptorelin. These medications are used to treat breast cancer, certain gynecological health conditions, and infertility.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

Do not take Anastrozol Teva if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Discontinue Anastrozol Teva if you become pregnant and consult your doctor.

Driving and operating machines

It is unlikely that Anastrozol Teva will affect your ability to drive or use any tool or machine. However, occasionally some patients may feel weakness or drowsiness while taking Anastrozol Teva. If this happens, seek advice from your doctor or pharmacist.

Use in athletes

This medication contains anastrozole, which may produce a positive result in doping control tests.

Anastrozol Teva contains lactose

Lactose is a type of sugar. If your doctor has told you that you have an intolerance to certain sugars, consult with them before taking this medication.

Anastrozol Teva contains sodium

This medication contains less than 23 mg of sodium (1 mmol) per coated tablet; this is, essentially “sodium-free”.

3. How to Take Anastrozol Teva

Follow exactly the administration instructions for this medication as indicated by your doctor or pharmacist. In case of doubt, consult your doctor or pharmacist again.

  • The recommended dose is one daily tablet.
  • Try to take the tablet at the same time every day.
  • Swallow the tablet whole with the help of water.
  • You can take Anastrozol Teva before, during, or after meals.

Continue taking anastrozol for the time your doctor tells you to. This is a long-term treatment and you may need to take it for several years.

If you take more Anastrozol Teva than you should

If you take more Anastrozol Teva than you should, contact your doctor immediately.

In case of overdose or accidental ingestion, consult your doctor or pharmacist immediately or call the Toxicological Information Service. Phone 91 562 04 20, indicating the medication and the amount ingested.

If you forget to take Anastrozol Teva

If you forget to take a dose, simply take the next dose normally.

Do not take a double dose (two doses at the same time) to make up for the missed doses.

If you interrupt treatment with Anastrozol Teva

Do not stop taking your medication unless your doctor tells you to.

If you have any other questions about the use of this medication, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
