Femistra 1 mg tablet

What is Femistra 1 mg tablet?

Femistra 1 mg is an anastrozole tablet used in hormone-sensitive breast cancer treatment. It belongs to the aromatase inhibitor drug category. Each tablet contains anastrozole as the active ingredient.

What does it contain?

• Each Femistra 1 mg tablet contains 1 mg of anastrozole as the active substance. 
• The tablet is taken orally once daily. One tablet per day.

Who makes it?

Femistra 1 mg is manufactured by Zydus Healthcare. The manufacturer produces this tablet for use in oncology and hormone management. No other manufacturer details are available at this time.

What is it used for?

Femistra 1 mg is used for hormone receptor-positive breast cancer in postmenopausal women. 

Anastrozole is also used by men. Common searches include anastrozole uses for men, particularly for managing estrogen levels during testosterone therapy or anastrozole PCT after an anabolic cycle. So it covers both breast cancer treatment and off-label hormonal management in men.

How does it work?

Anastrozole blocks the aromatase enzyme. This enzyme is responsible for converting androgens into estrogen in the body. Less estrogen means hormone-sensitive tumors lose a key signal that drives their growth.

The blocking effect is consistent and measurable. In men using it for PCT or hormonal balance, the same mechanism helps bring elevated estrogen back to a normal range after a cycle.

When should I take it?

Take Femistra 1 mg at the same time each day. It can be taken with or without food. Consistency matters more than the time you pick.

If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. But if your next dose is due soon, skip the missed one. Do not double up.

What dose should I take?

Doctors prescribed one anastrozole 1 mg tablet once daily. Your doctor will confirm the right duration based on your treatment plan. Do not adjust the dose on your own.

For PCT use in men, doses vary. A qualified professional should be consulted before starting.

Are there side effects?

Yes. Common side effects include:

• Joint pain or stiffness
• Hot flushes
• Nausea
• Headache
• Fatigue
• Bone density loss with long-term use

If you experience chest pain, severe bone pain, or yellowing of the skin, seek medical attention straight away.

Who should not take it?

Femistra 1 mg is not suitable for premenopausal women unless directed by a specialist. Do not take it if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Women with severe liver disease should not take/use anastrozole. Tell your doctor about any ongoing hormone therapy before you start this medication.

How should I store it?

Store Femistra 1 mg tablets at room temperature, away from direct heat and moisture. Keep the strip or bottle sealed until use. Anastrozole does not need refrigeration. Humidity can degrade the tablet over time, so keep them in a dry place.

Many patients new to this medication ask whether it is the same as tamoxifen. It is not. Anastrozole works through a different pathway entirely. Current treatment guidelines generally prefer it for postmenopausal breast cancer.
