Fadrozole

From WikiMD's Food, Medicine & Wellness Encyclopedia

Fadrozole is an aromatase inhibitor that is used in research to study the role of estrogens. It is not approved for use in humans.

Mechanism of action[edit | edit source]

Fadrozole works by inhibiting the enzyme aromatase, which is responsible for the conversion of androgens to estrogens in the body. This results in a decrease in estrogen levels, which can have various effects depending on the context in which it is used.

Uses[edit | edit source]

While Fadrozole is not approved for use in humans, it is commonly used in research settings. It is often used in studies investigating the role of estrogens in various processes, such as breast cancer development and progression, bone health, and reproductive health.

Side effects[edit | edit source]

As Fadrozole is not used in humans, its side effects are not well-studied. However, other aromatase inhibitors that are used in humans can cause side effects such as hot flashes, joint pain, and an increased risk of osteoporosis.
