What it is

How to use

• Follow the dosage and schedule provided by your prescriber. Do not change the dose without medical advice.
• If prescribed once daily, take at the same time each day with water. If an alternate-day regimen has been advised, follow that schedule exactly.
• Swallow tablets whole; do not crush or chew unless instructed by a pharmacist or clinician.
• If you miss a dose, contact your healthcare provider or follow the instructions supplied with the medicine—do not double up without guidance.

Why it works

• Anastrozole — inhibits the aromatase enzyme, which reduces the conversion of androgens into oestrogens.
• Lowering circulating oestrogen can be part of a prescribed strategy to manage conditions that are sensitive to oestrogen levels; a clinician will determine appropriateness and duration.
• There are no added skincare actives; this is a systemic pharmaceutical product, not a topical treatment.

What to expect

• Biochemical changes in hormone levels may be measurable within days, but clinical effects and side‑effect profiles vary between individuals.
• Some adverse effects can appear shortly after starting treatment; others—such as effects on bone density—are typically seen with long‑term use and require monitoring.
• Discuss monitoring plans (blood tests, bone health) with your healthcare provider to set expectations.

Good to know

• Not suitable for use in pregnancy or breastfeeding. If you are pregnant, planning pregnancy or breastfeeding, inform your healthcare provider immediately.
• Inform your prescriber about all medications and supplements you take—anastrozole can interact with other drugs.
• Stop and seek medical advice if you experience severe side effects or allergic reactions.
• Always keep medicines out of reach of children and store in original packaging to avoid confusion with other tablets.
