Description
Altraz contains anastrozole, a medicine belonging to a group called aromatase inhibitors. It is primarily used in the treatment of certain hormone receptor-positive breast cancers in postmenopausal women.
Anastrozole works by reducing the production of estrogen in the body. Lower estrogen levels can help slow or stop the growth of certain breast cancer cells that depend on estrogen.
