Anaridex 1 Mg: Mechanism of Action (MOA) 

🌸 Halts aromatase enzyme that modifies androgens into estrogens

💊 Drops estrogen levels in the blood

⛔ Averts tumor activation resulting from estrogen

🛡️ Stops the growth of hormone-dependent cancer cells

🧬 It is neither a steroid nor is it binding selectively, thus reducing estrogen only, and others remain free.

FAQs

1.Can I stop taking Anaridex once symptoms disappear? 

Of course not! Anaridex should be taken for the full duration of the prescription (which is usually 5 years) even if symptoms are better, to avoid recurrence.

2.Is Anaridex safe for premenopausal women?

 In general, it is not suitable for premenopausal women, unless the patient is under special circumstances and with hormonal suppression.

3.Does Anaridex cause infertility?

 Certainly, it can reduce the amount of estrogen in the body, which in turn can lead to a fertility issue. Nevertheless, some doctors use it off-label as an auxiliary drug for fertility treatment with strict control and surveillance.

4.Can I take calcium with Anaridex?

 Yes, it is common that calcium and vitamin D supplements are needed to counter the risk of the bone loss that results from a long-term Anaridex consumption.

5.What should I do if I miss a dose of Anaridex?

 Try to take the next dose as soon as you realize that you missed a dose. If you missed a dose because it is near the time of your next dose, do not take a double dose to make up the missed one.
