Anastrozole is a non-steroidal aromatase inhibitor. It blocks the enzyme that converts androgens into oestrogen, which means it lowers the amount of oestrogen the body makes rather than blocking the hormone at its receptor, as tamoxifen-type drugs do.
Alpha Pharma markets it as Anazole in 1 mg tablets, thirty to a carton. Alpha Pharma is among the better-known Indian labs represented here and prints a scratch-off authentication code on its boxes. The 1 mg tablet is the standard unit for this compound across every brand stocked.
