WHAT IS THE MEDICINE USED FOR?
Aremed contains a substance called anastrozole. This belongs to a
group of medicines
called ‘aromatase inhibitors’. Aremed is used to treat breast
cancer in women who have
gone through the menopause.
Aremed works by cutting down the amount of the hormone called estrogen
that your
body makes. It does this by blocking a natural substance (an enzyme)
in your body
called ‘aromatase’.
HOW MUCH AND HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOU USE THIS MEDICINE?
Always take this medicine exactly as your doctor has told you. Check

to. It is a long-

with your doctor
or pharmacist if you are not sure.

PHARMACOLOGICAL PROPERTIES
PHARMACODYNAMIC PROPERTIES
Pharmacotherapeutic group: Endocrine therapy; Hormone antagonists and
related
agents, Aromatase inhibitors, ATC code: L02BG03
Mechanism of action and pharmacodynamics effects
Aremed
is
a
potent
and
highly
selective
non-steroidal
aromatase
inhibitor.
In
postmenopausal women, estradiol is produced primarily from the
conversion of
androstenedione to estrone through the aromatase enzyme complex in
peripheral
tissues. Estrone is subsequently converted to estradiol. Reducing
circulating estradiol
levels has been shown to produce a beneficial effect in women with
breast cancer. In
postmenopausal women, anastrozole at a daily dose of 1 mg produced
estradiol
suppression of greater than 80% using a highly sensitive assay.
Anastrozole does not possess any progestogenic, androgenic or
oestrogenic activity.
Daily doses of anastrozole up to 10 mg do not have any effect on
cortisol or aldosterone
secretion, measured before or after standard adrenocorticotrophic
hormone (ACTH)
challenge testing. Corticoid supplements are therefore not needed.
PHARMACOKINETIC PROPERTIES
Absorption
sg-pi-aremed-fc-tabs-a3t
page 2 of 10
Absorption of anastrozole is rapid and maximum plasma concentrations
typically occur
within two hours of dosing (under fasted conditions). Food slightly
decreases the rate
but not the extent of absorption. The small change in the rate of
absorption is not
expected
to
result
in
a
clinically
significant
effect
on
the
steady-state
plasma
concentrations during once daily dosing of anastrozole tablets.
Approximately 90 to
95% of plasma anastrozole steady-state concentrations are attained
after 7 d
