Keywords: Arimidex, anastrozole, aromatase inhibitor, hot flushes
The results of the study showed that the combination of Arimidex with anastrozole significantly increased the time to first attacks of hot flushes (8.2 minutes vs. 6.6 minutes, p = 0.001). Patients who were treated with Arimidex and anastrozole at the same time also improved their first attacks of hot flushes compared to the placebo group. The combination of Arimidex with anastrozole significantly improved the time to first attacks of hot flushes (6.3 minutes vs. 5.5 minutes, p = 0.001).
Study Design: This was a single-center, open-label, randomized, single-dummy, double-blind study, to compare the efficacy of the combination of Arimidex and anastrozole, a specific aromatase inhibitor, in the treatment of hot flushes associated with the diagnosis of hot flushes in adolescents.
The study was conducted at the National Asthma and Allergy Foundation of India (NAFAI) as a monotherapy (Table ).
