Anacan 1 MG Tablet 10 contains Anastrozole (1 mg). Here's how it works on your body:

• Aromatase enzyme inhibition: Anastrozole targets and inhibits an enzyme known as aromatase. This enzyme plays a crucial role in the production of oestrogen, a hormone, in postmenopausal women.

• Reduction of oestrogen levels: By inhibiting the aromatase enzyme effectively, Anastrozole brings down oestrogen levels in the body.

• Slowing down cancer cell Growth: Lower levels of oestrogen mean slower growth of hormone-sensitive breast cancer cells. This ultimately helps manage breast cancer effectively.
