Kyaresta 1mg (Anastrozole) – 28 Tablets | Aromatase Inhibitor for Breast Cancer Treatment
Effective Hormonal Therapy for Postmenopausal Breast Cancer Patients
Kyaresta 1mg Tablets contain Anastrozole, a potent aromatase inhibitor used primarily to treat hormone receptor-positive breast cancer in postmenopausal women. By reducing estrogen levels in the body, Kyaresta slows or stops the growth of estrogen-dependent breast tumors, making it a standard in hormonal cancer therapy.
What Is Kyaresta Used For?
-
✅ Treatment of early and advanced-stage breast cancer in postmenopausal women
-
✅ Hormonal therapy alternative to tamoxifen
-
✅ Supports long-term cancer remission strategies
-
✅ Often used after surgery or radiation to prevent cancer recurrence
How Does Kyaresta (Anastrozole) Work?
Kyaresta works by inhibiting aromatase, an enzyme responsible for converting androgens into estrogens. By blocking this conversion, anastrozole significantly lowers estrogen levels in the body, which is essential for slowing down or halting the progression of estrogen-sensitive breast cancers.
Who Should NOT Take Kyaresta?
Do not take Kyaresta if:
-
You are pregnant or breastfeeding
-
You have not yet reached menopause
-
You suffer from severe liver or kidney impairment
-
You are allergic to anastrozole or any of the excipients
-
You are taking estrogen-containing medications or tamoxifen
Dosage and Directions for Use
-
💊 Recommended Dose: 1 tablet (1mg) once daily, preferably at the same time each day
-
💧 Swallow with water, with or without food

Kyaresta and Osteoporosis – Bone Health Matters
Because Kyaresta reduces estrogen, it can contribute to bone mineral density loss. Patients should undergo DEXA scans regularly and may require preventive osteoporosis treatments such as calcium, vitamin D, or bisphosphonates.
