Arimidex - Overview

Arimidex is a medication primarily used in treating certain types of cancers. People who might need an Arimidex prescription can use Push Health to connect with a licensed medical provider who can prescribe Arimidex medication, including generic Arimidex 1 mg tablets, when appropriate to do so.

What Is Arimidex Used For?

Arimidex prescription medication contains the active ingredient anastrozole and, like letrozole (Femara), belongs to a class of medications known as non-steroidal aromatase inhibitors. The aromatase enzyme is involved with converting androgen hormones like testosterone to the hormones estradiol and estrone. Arimidex's mechanism of action involves blocking the aromatase enzyme which reduces the production of estrogen by peripheral tissues as well as any cancer tissue that is producing hormones. Because of this, Arimidex prescription medication is indicated for treating some cases of hormone receptor-positive early breast cancer and advanced breast cancer in postmenopausal women. Anecdotally, some have reported the use of Arimidex for men as it relates to bodybuilding and reducing gynecomastia that can develop in professional bodybuilders. At this time, Arimidex medication is not officially indicated for this type of use even though some medical providers may prescribe Arimidex off-label for these reasons.

Arimidex - Dosage and Cost

The typical dosing regimen prescribed is Arimidex 1 mg daily although the ultimate regimen depends on the needs of the patient and the judgement of the prescribing medical provider. Arimidex is available as Arimidex 1 mg tablets which should be stored between 20° C and 25° C. Arimidex tablets also contain inactive ingredients such as lactose, magnesium stearate and sodium starch glycolate. Branded Arimidex is an expensive medication, costing approximately $40 per Arimidex 1 mg tablet at most pharmacies. Arimidex coupons are sometimes available online or possibly with a copay card. Some insurance plans may also cover the costs associated with an Arimidex prescription. Generic versions of Arimidex, when available, may be cheaper.
