Is there a generic drug for Arimidex?

Answer 1

No, but there are other in the same class as Arimidex, called aromatase inhibitors, Femara and Aromasin. Some may be cheaper depending upon your drug plan. I would imagine tamoxifen is also much cheaper, and that is an alternate to an aromatase inhibitor. If you are having trouble paying there are also some patient assistance programs. But check with your doctor to see if there is an alternative that you could afford if Arimidex is too expensive. Call your insurance and find out what is their preferred medication in this class of drugs.

Answer 2

I'm taking Arimidex. If there was a generic version of it, my insurance company would insist that I use it.

Answer 3

Arimidex, also known as Anastrozole or Liquidex, can be best classified as an aromatase inhibitor recommended by medical practitioners all over the globe as adjuvant treatment of postmenopausal women afflicted with hormone receptor-positive early breast cancer; this drug can also be used as a first-line treatment of postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive or hormone receptor unknown locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer. It is, however, important to note that Arimidex is not recommended to women of premenopausal endocrine status, and individuals with existing hypersensitivity to Arimidex or any of its excipients.
