1. What is Amenur and what is it used for

Amenur 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 estrogens that are produced by your body. It does this by blocking a natural substance (an enzyme) in your body called 'aromatase'.

2. What you need to know before you take Amenur

Do not take Amenur

  • If you are allergic (hypersensitive) to anastrozole or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).
  • If you are pregnant or breast-feeding (see the section called “Pregnancy and breast-feeding”).

Do not take anastrozole if you are in any of the above situations. If you are not sure, consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking anastrozole.

Be careful with Amenur

Before taking Amenur, check with your doctor or pharmacist

  • If you are still having menstrual periods and have not yet reached the menopause.
  • If you are taking a medicine that contains tamoxifen or medicines that contain estrogen (see the section called “Other medicines and Amenur”).
  • If you have ever had a condition that affects the strength of your bones (osteoporosis).
  • If you have any liver or kidney problems.

If you are not sure if any of these apply to you, consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking anastrozole.

If you are going to have an operation, tell the doctor or nurse that you are taking anastrozole.

Other medicines and Amenur

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken or might take any other medicines, including those obtained without a prescription and herbal medicines. This is because anastrozole may affect the way other medicines work, and some medicines may have an effect on anastrozole.

Do not take anastrozole if you are already taking any of the following medicines:

  • Certain medicines used to treat breast cancer (selective estrogen receptor modulators), e.g. medicines that contain tamoxifen. This is because these medicines may stop anastrozole from working properly.
  • Medicines that contain estrogen, such as hormone replacement therapy (HRT).

If you are in any of these situations, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice.

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

  • A medicine known as an 'LHRH analogue'. This includes gonadorelin, buserelin, goserelin, leuprorelin and triptorelin. These medicines are used to treat breast cancer, certain gynecological conditions and infertility.

Pregnancy and breast-feeding

Do not take anastrozole if you are pregnant or breast-feeding. Stop taking anastrozole if you become pregnant and consult your doctor.

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking any medicine.

Driving and using machines

Anastrozole is unlikely to affect your ability to drive or use any tools or machines. However, occasionally some patients may feel weak or sleepy while taking anastrozole. If this happens to you, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice.
