Common use:

Armotraz (Anastrozole) is primarily used to treat hormone-receptor-positive breast cancer in postmenopausal women. It reduces estrogen levels in the body, which is crucial for slowing the growth of certain breast cancer cells.

Dosage and direction:

The recommended dosage is 1 mg, taken orally once daily. It is advised to take Armotraz at the same time each day, with or without food, as instructed by your healthcare provider.

Precautions:

Armotraz should be used cautiously in individuals with a history of bone issues or osteoporosis, as it may impact bone density. Regular medical check-ups are essential to monitor side effects and treatment effectiveness.

Contraindications:

Armotraz is not suitable for premenopausal women and individuals with a known allergy to anastrozole or any of its components. It is also contraindicated during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Possible side effects:

Common side effects include hot flashes, joint pain, weakness, and nausea. Other potential side effects may include headaches, fatigue, or skin rashes.

Drug interaction:

Armotraz may interact with medications that affect estrogen levels or are metabolized by liver enzymes, such as tamoxifen. Always inform your doctor about all medications you are taking to avoid adverse interactions.

Missed dose:

If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember, unless it is almost time for the next dose. Do not double the dose to compensate for a missed one.

Overdose:

Overdose symptoms may include severe nausea, vomiting, or dizziness. Seek immediate medical attention if an overdose is suspected.

Storage:

Store Armotraz at room temperature, away from light and moisture. Keep it out of reach of children to prevent accidental ingestion.
