About Anabrez: Anabrez (Anastrozole) is a medicine classified as a nonsteroidal aromatase inhibitor. This medicine is indicated for postmenopausal women as a treatment for breast cancer. It can be used alone or as a combination of different types of treatment which may include radiation, surgery et al. in curing breast cancer. Anabrez (Anastrozole) works by shrinking breast tumors through reduction of estrogen, a hormone produced by the body which aids the growth of these tumors that are cancerous. This is possible since the active ingredient of this medicine which is anastrozole is used to inhibit aromatase enzyme which is important in the process of formation of estrogen. The enzyme converts different sex hormones such as testosterone and androstenedione into estrogen and hence when inhibited, the process of forming estrogen is directly halted.
