Arimidex – What You Wanted To Know About It
What Is Arimidex?
Arimidex is a drug used specifically to lower the estrogen levels in the blood of postmenopausal women. This treatment is administered in cases where women are at high risk of developing cancer – especially breast cancer. This drug is effective and recommended when cancer has continued to progress in spite of taking tamoxifen (brand names Soltamox and Nolvadex).The main role of this drug is to reduce the production of estrogen in the body; this in turn shrinks the cancerous tumors in the body.How Is Arimidex Taken?
This drug is normally taken once a day with or without food – or as directed by the physician. Arimidex should be taken regularly and at the same time of the day if you want it to work well. It is important that the dose is not increased or decreased without the specific instruction from your doctor. Contrary to common belief, more medication would not make the cancer go faster; it would rather cause more harmful side effects.
