Anti-aromatase

What is Anti-aromatase?

Anti-aromatase is a type of enzyme inhibitor. It is an important agent in hormone therapy and is used to reduce or block the activity of aromatase, an enzyme that converts testosterone into estrogen. Anti-aromatase has been used in the treatment of hormone-sensitive tumors such as breast and prostate cancer.

Where is Anti-aromatase Generally Used?

Anti-aromatase is primarily used in the treatment of hormone-sensitive cancers, including breast cancer and prostate cancer. It is also used in the treatment of menopause-related symptoms, such as hot flashes, night sweats, and mood swings.

Where is Anti-aromatase Found?

Anti-aromatase is most commonly found in synthetic forms, such as anastrozole and letrozole, which are both aromatase inhibitors. These agents are available in tablet form and can be prescribed by a doctor.
