Question 1 of 5
Tick the drug belonging to aromatase inhibitors:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Anastrozole. Aromatase inhibitors block the enzyme aromatase, which converts androgens into estrogens. Anastrozole specifically inhibits aromatase, reducing estrogen levels. Octreotide (A) is a somatostatin analogue, Flutamide (C) is an androgen receptor antagonist, and Tamoxifen (D) is a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM), not an aromatase inhibitor. Thus, the only drug among the choices that directly targets aromatase is Anastrozole.
