All three aromatase inhibitors are generic. There are three aromatase inhibitors:

Anastrozole (Arimidex) is a 1mg oral tablet taken once daily.
Letrozole (Femara) is a 2.5mg once daily oral tablet which may be taken without regards to meals.
Exemestane (Aromasin) is a 25mg. once daily oral tablet which should be taken after a meal.
