Overview & Usage

Overview

Altraz 1mg Tablet is an anticancer medicine that contains Anastrozole, a powerful ingredient from the aromatase inhibitor class of drugs. It is primarily prescribed for hormone-dependent breast cancer in postmenopausal women. This medicine works by reducing the body’s estrogen levels, as estrogen can promote the growth of certain types of breast cancer. By blocking the enzyme aromatase, which converts hormones into estrogen, Altraz helps slow down or prevent the recurrence of early-stage breast cancer, supporting long-term recovery.

Like all medications, Altraz 1mg Tablet may cause some side effects. The most commonly reported ones include nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, fever, itching, joint inflammation (arthritis), bone loss (osteoporosis), vaginal bleeding, and pain in the joints, stomach, or kidneys. While these effects are often temporary, it’s important to inform your doctor if any symptoms persist or become bothersome. Regular monitoring of bone health and overall wellbeing is advised during treatment.

Before starting Altraz, consult your doctor if you are allergic to Anastrozole or any of its ingredients. This medicine is meant for postmenopausal women, so it should not be taken if you are still having menstrual periods, pregnant, or breastfeeding. Inform your doctor if you have a history of osteoporosis, liver or kidney problems, or lactose intolerance, as these conditions may require special attention or dosage adjustments. Always take this medication exactly as prescribed and maintain regular follow-ups to ensure safe and effective treatment.
