How this medicine works

The current U.S. label describes anastrozole as a selective, nonsteroidal aromatase inhibitor and describes pharmacology related to estradiol levels. This helps readers understand label language; it cannot decide whether someone should use it, how it relates to tamoxifen or another product, whether products can be used together, duration or suitability.

Check the market, names, dosage form and route together

A medicine may use different brand names across markets. Keep the market, brand, generic name, dosage form and route together; one matching field does not prove that two packs are the same or interchangeable.

FOR EVERYDAY QUESTIONS

After the leaflet, continue with the question you still need to check

What this pack is

ARIMIDEX is the brand name in this record; anastrozole is the generic name. Read both together with the dosage form (oral tablet).

What this page can show

This is a source-traceable public record. It helps you read the product identity and its listed source documents; each market still needs its own current record check.

What to bring to the next conversation

Bring the actual pack, the label or prescription, and a complete medicine list when you speak with a pharmacist or clinician.

PRODUCT PRESENTATION IDENTITY

Strength, pack and device identity

Package strength is not an individual dose. These fields help identify the exact labelled product; they do not calculate how much, how often, a missed-use action, splitting, switching or conversion.

How to read a score line: ‘scored’ or ‘unscored’ first identifies this labelled presentation. A score line by itself does not permit self-splitting, reducing or changing the product. Only an explicit statement in the current label for this exact presentation, checked with a pharmacist against the prescription, can support any further handling.

1 source-backed strength, pack or device records — open the full list

First match the market, dosage form and labelled amount on the pack in hand. The number of tablets, sachets or devices in a pack is not a personal dose or schedule.

LABEL READING · NOT A PRESCRIPTION

ARIMIDEX label reading: identify 1 mg, NDC and the 30-tablet bottle first

Reading level: drug-specific label reading. This record has been expanded around its dosage form or a higher-risk reading question; the current target-market label and professional review still apply.

This module reads only ARIMIDEX, anastrozole, 1 mg per tablet, the exact NDC, 30-tablet bottle, appearance and warnings in the current U.S. DailyMed label. It provides no individual tablet count, timing, treatment duration, co-use, stopping, switching, splitting or purchase plan.

  • Check ARIMIDEX, anastrozole, 1 mg, the actual NDC, 30-tablet bottle, white round tablet, Adx/1 imprint and target market together. mg is the labelled amount in that exact tablet, not a web calculation for tablet count, treatment duration, conversion to another endocrine therapy or co-use.
  • The displayed current-label tablet is unscored. Colour, size, round shape and imprint are supporting checks only; they cannot authenticate a product and are not instructions to self-split, reduce use or replace one package with another.
  • The current label identifies ischaemic cardiovascular disease, decreased bone mineral density, cholesterol changes, liver-function abnormalities, skin reactions and embryo-fetal toxicity as items for reading and professional review. Give the actual pack, all prescription medicines, OTC products, supplements and relevant test information to the prescribing team or pharmacist for item-by-item review; this page cannot turn them into an individual continue, co-use or switching decision.
  • With breathing difficulty, swelling of the face or throat, a marked allergy-like reaction, chest pain, or a severe or worrying symptom, prioritise local medical support; do not test the cause by stopping or changing several medicines at once.

PHARMACOVIGILANCE · OFFICIAL ROUTES

Check safety information in the right market

Start with the public label or product record linked to this dossier, then use the official safety routes below for the market that applies to the medicine in hand.

Match five details before using a safety record

  1. Brand and generic nameBoth must match the medicine named by the record.
  2. Dosage form and strengthTablet, capsule, injection, inhaler, patch and eye drop are not interchangeable.
  3. Market and notice dateA record applies only to the country or region and date it names.
  4. Lot, pack and manufacturerRecord these only when the official notice specifically names them.
  5. Current product informationA historical record may have been superseded by the current label.

This checklist only helps organise the right question. It does not create a personal conclusion about stopping, switching, dose, combination or suitability.

This card brings together the medicine-specific product route and 15 market-level official vigilance gateways. It does not mean real-time alerts for this medicine have been searched in every country or region, or that the medicine has a new alert, recall or risk conclusion. Match brand, generic name, dosage form, strength, market and notice date item by item; do not self-stop, switch, increase or reduce use from a headline.

For severe or rapidly worsening symptoms, suspected overdose, a severe allergic reaction, loss of consciousness or another emergency, use local emergency services. Do not wait for an online alert search or change a medicine from this page.

PACK · LABEL · MEDICINE LIST

Six checks for this medicine pack

Use this card to organise questions about ARIMIDEX (anastrozole). Keep the exact pack, its current label and the full medicine list together.

  1. Identify the exact product

    ARIMIDEX is the brand in this record and anastrozole is the active-ingredient name. Check both with the dosage form (Dosage form and presentation as documented in the linked primary label) and the market on the actual pack.

  2. Read the labelled strength in context

    mg, mcg, mg/mL or a percentage describes the labelled amount in one tablet, capsule, measured volume, spray or other unit. It is not an answer to how many units a person should take.

  3. Check before splitting or opening

    Before splitting, crushing, chewing or opening anything, find an explicit instruction for this exact product in its current label and ask a pharmacist. A score line or a previous pack is not enough by itself.

  4. Put every product on one list

    Include prescriptions, over-the-counter products, eye drops, creams, vitamins, minerals, herbs and supplements. A pharmacist or prescriber needs the whole list before any combination, alternation, switch or stop is considered.

  5. Ask a specific pharmacogenetics question

    Ask which medicine, which gene and what clinical decision a result could change. A gene–drug association does not mean broad genetic testing is needed for everyone and must not be used to change treatment without professional review.

  6. Know when to seek urgent help

    For a suspected overdose, a severe allergic reaction, fainting or difficulty breathing, use the local emergency or poison-information service now. Do not wait for a website reply or alter several medicines to test what caused it.

This card does not calculate a dose, decide whether medicines can be combined, or replace a clinician or pharmacist. Market-specific current labels and the person's full context still need review.

HOW IT WORKS · NOT A TREATMENT PLAN

Mechanism reading: the label's aromatase-inhibition pathway is not a self-selection, substitution or co-use rule

  • “Aromatase inhibitor”, “hormone receptor”, or any one mechanism term does not prove that products are equal, interchangeable or suitable for self-directed combining; each actual product, target-market label and complete medicine list needs separate review.
  • A mechanism page does not reduce an individual's diagnosis, pathology, age, bone density, cardiovascular history, liver function, other conditions or complete medicine list to an answer about whether to use it, duration or what to change to; existing tests or genetic reports also need professional interpretation with those materials.
  • Do not use mechanism, a package image or the 1 mg number to handle an acute symptom, make-up use, stopping, switching or co-use. Real questions must return to the current target-market label for the exact product and the prescribing team or pharmacist.

Current public label and exact 30-tablet bottle panel linked

This page displays ARIMIDEX anastrozole 1 mg/NDC 62559-670-30/30-tablet bottle. It does not authenticate a product or establish actual availability, stock, purchase, individual tablet count, treatment duration, initiation, stopping, co-use, switching or interchangeability.

Mainland China, EU, Japan and other markets

Market record not established

No local trade name, approval, packaging, supply, sale eligibility, originator/generic relationship or interchangeability is inferred from the U.S. label, NDA, NDC, English brand, package image or label entity; every market requires separate checking against current local regulatory material.

How to read this record

Read each document in its stated market, date and dosage-form context. A historical record is not a current label and does not support individual medical, substitution or purchasing conclusions.

Keep international and mainland China records separate

This page has a U.S. public history/regulatory archive but no mainland China record for this specific product. That does not establish whether the medicine exists, is approved or is available in mainland China. Verify product identity, dosage form, strength, holder and the current label item by item.

RECORD FAQ

Record questions

Can 1 mg and a 30-tablet bottle be used to decide my own tablet count, treatment duration or switch to another endocrine therapy product?

No. These fields only identify the exact ARIMIDEX tablets and package in the cited U.S. label. A nearby milligram number, package photo, shared diagnosis or endocrine-therapy context does not establish self-initiation, increase, make-up use, stopping, co-use, alternation or substitution; take the current pack, prescription and complete medicine list to the prescribing team or pharmacist for review.

Why does the page mention bone density, cardiovascular concerns, liver function and co-medications without telling me whether to change medicine?

These are reading entry points for the current U.S. label's warnings, precautions and patient-counselling sections, not an individual risk assessment or treatment decision. For an acute serious concern or worry about the current prescription, use local medical support; the prescribing team or pharmacist needs the exact product, history, tests and complete medicine list for item-by-item review.
