Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

Anastrozole is a pill taken for some types of cancer. Pill with AHI imprint is manufactured by Accord Healthcare. This is asastrozole 1 mg and belongs to the drug classes aromatase inhibitors, hormones/antineoplastics.

It is possible that you have developed an allergy to the binding substance and not the medicine. Binding substances are used to keep the medicine in its shape and usually made of an inert substance which is not harmful. Please discuss with your pharmacy and request for alternatives. The pharmacy has not made any mistake. Please do not worry.
