Altrol Tablet
Each tablet contains (Anastrozole)

ALTROL IS APPROVED FOR ADJUVANT TREATMENT (TREATMENT FOLLOWING SURGERY WITH OR WITHOUT RADIATION) OF POSTMENOPAUSAL WOMEN WITH HORMONE RECEPTOR-POSITIVE EARLY BREAST CANCER.

ALTROL is approved for the initial treatment of postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive or hormone receptor-unknown locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer and for the treatment of postmenopausal women with advanced breast cancer that has progressed following treatment with tamoxifen. Patients with hormone receptor-negative disease and patients who did not previously respond to tamoxifen therapy rarely responded to ALTROL.

Prescription ALTROL is only for postmenopausal women. ALTROL should not be taken if you are pregnant because it may harm your unborn child. Do not take ALTROL if you are allergic to any of its ingredients

What Is ALTROL?
ALTROL 1 mg is a prescription hormonal treatment that helps fight breast cancer by lowering the amount of estrogen in the body. ALTROL is a selective, non-steroidal aromatase inhibitor, which significantly lowers serum estradiol (estrogen) concentrations, without interfering with the formation of adrenal corticosteroids or aldosterone.
It is FDA approved for the following 3 conditions:
• As an adjuvant treatment for postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive early breast cancer
• For the initial treatment of postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive or hormone receptor-unknownlocally advanced or metastatic breast cancer
• For the treatment of postmenopausal women with advanced breast cancer that has progressed following treatment with tamoxifen


Indications
Altrol is indicated for adjuvant treatment of postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive early breast cancer.

Altrol is indicated for the first-line treatment of postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive or hormone receptor unknown locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer.

Altrol is indicated for the treatment of advanced breast cancer in postmenopausal women with disease progression tamoxifen therapy.

Description
Many breast cancers need supplies of the hormone oestrogen to grow. In women who have had their menopause, the main source of oestrogen is through the conversion of androgens (sex hormones produced by the adrenal glands) into oestrogens. This is carried out by an enzyme called aromatase. The conversion process, known as aromatisation, happens mainly in the fatty tissues of the body.

Use
This medication is used to treat breast cancer in women who have gone through "the change of life" (menopause). Anastrozole works by lowering estrogen hormone levels to help shrink tumors and slow their growth.

How To Use
Take this medication by mouth with or without food, usually once a day, or as directed by your doctor.

Side Effect
Constipation, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, upset stomach, loss of appetite, body aches and pains, breast swelling/tenderness/pain, headache, dry mouth, scratchy throat, increased cough, dizziness, trouble sleeping, tiredness/weakness, vaginal bleeding, hair thinning, and weight change can occur. Changes in diet such as eating several small meals may help lessen the chance of nausea and vomiting. If any of these effects persist or worsen, notify your doctor.

Tell your doctor immediately if any of these unlikely but serious side effects occur: mental/mood changes (e.g., depression), numbness/tingling/swelling of the hands or feet, persistent cough, unusual vaginal discharge/burning/itching/odor, unusually stiff muscles, pain/redness/swelling of the arms or legs, vision changes, bone pain, bone fracture, signs of infection (e.g., fever, chills, persistent sore throat).
