Hopeanna 1 mg contains anastrozole, a medication used to treat hormone receptor-positive breast cancer, especially in postmenopausal women. It is a non-steroidal aromatase inhibitor, which means it helps reduce estrogen levels in the body — a hormone that can fuel the growth of certain types of breast cancer. Hopeanna is taken orally and is commonly used either after surgery or as part of ongoing hormone therapy in breast cancer management.

Mechanism of Action

Anastrozole works by blocking the enzyme aromatase, which is responsible for converting androgens into estrogens in the body. In postmenopausal women, most of the body’s estrogen comes from this conversion rather than from the ovaries. By reducing estrogen production, Hopeanna limits the hormone supply to estrogen-sensitive cancer cells, thereby slowing or stopping their growth.

Uses

Hopeanna 1 mg is used primarily in:

• Early breast cancer: after surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy to prevent recurrence

• Advanced or metastatic breast cancer: to slow disease progression

• First-line treatment: for hormone receptor-positive or hormone-sensitive breast cancer in postmenopausal women

• It may also be used off-label in certain conditions involving excess estrogen or for fertility-related protocols under specialist care
