Arimidex (Anastrozole) is an aromatase inhibitor used to lower estrogen levels in postmenopausal women. It may also have antiestrogenic properties and may be used as part of hormone therapy. It is available as an over-the-counter medication.

Arimidex (Anastrozole) is an aromatase inhibitor that reduces estrogen levels in postmenopausal women by blocking the enzyme aromatase. This reduction in estrogen is necessary for the body to recover from hormone-mediated bone loss, leading to slowing of bone density loss and increased risk of osteoporosis and fractures.

For pre-menopausal women, Arimidex can help improve the natural ability of the body to metabolize and remove estrogen. This may result in a significant reduction in bone density and a lower risk of osteoporosis and fractures. It can be used alone or in combination with other hormone therapies.
