Hi mike,
The closest match I've been able to find is Arimidex (1 mg)- which contains the main ingredient anastrozole; it's a small, white, and round pill with the imprint Adx on the front and an A with an arrow pointing downwards (which is part of the A) on the back. It's kind of a hard imprint to describe... also, the imprints don't seem to have been stamped into the pill very deeply so maybe some of them got rubbed/smudged off at some point?
Manufacturer: AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals
National Drug Code (NDC): 00310-0201
Anastrozole (marketed under the trade name Arimidex by AstraZeneca) is an aromatase-inhibiting drug approved for treatment of breast cancer after surgery, as well as for metastasis in both pre and post-menopausal women. The severity of breast cancer is increased by estrogen, as sex hormones cause hyperplasia, and differentiation at estrogen receptor sites. Anastrozole works by inhibiting the synthesis of estrogen. The patent on Arimidex by AstraZeneca expired June 2010.
Side effects:
Bone weakness has been associated with anastrozole. Women who switched to anastrozole after two years on the medication tamoxifen, reported twice as many fractures as those who continued to take tamoxifen (2.1% compared to 1%). Bisphosphonates are sometimes prescribed to prevent the osteoporosis induced by aromatase inhibitors. The level of circulating oestradiol is likely causal here and not the anastrozole itself, and so the dose will determine likelihood of osteoporosis (oestradiol inhibits osteoclasts, which resorb bone).

I hope this helps!
