Information About Anastrozole

Anastrozole is a third-generation aromatase inhibitor used to treat hormone receptor-positive breast cancer in postmenopausal women in Singapore. Available as a 1mg oral tablet taken once daily, it is HSA-registered and available on prescription only in Singapore. It suppresses oestrogen synthesis by blocking peripheral aromatase-mediated conversion of androgens to oestrogens, reducing circulating oestrogen levels that drive hormone-sensitive breast tumour growth without affecting adrenal steroid production. A valid doctor's consultation is required before dispensing. Order Anastrozole online at DoctorOnCall Singapore with same-day delivery available.
