Anastrozole 1mg 28 Tabs

Anastrozole is an approved medication prescribed to postmenopausal women who have hormone receptor-positive breast cancer in the early stages. As an aromatase inhibitor, Arimidex (anastrozole) works by blocking the aromatase enzyme to prevent estrogen from being produced.
Anastrozole may be preferred by athletes using anabolic steroids to keep the estrogen hormone under control. Anastrozole is the most effective drug for reducing estrogen related side effects. Anastrozole, as an aromatase inhibitor, can have a performance-enhancing effect in some sports.

Why should steroid-using athletes use anastrozole?

• Hormone Regulation: Anastrozole can reduce the production of estrogen in the body, which may have several effects that can be advantageous for athletes. Lowering estrogen levels can lead to increased testosterone production, which is a hormone associated with muscle growth and performance enhancement.
• Muscle Building: By manipulating hormonal levels, athletes may believe that they can gain a competitive advantage by increasing muscle mass and strength.
• Weight Management: Some athletes use anastrozole to help manage their body weight. Lower estrogen levels can potentially lead to a reduction in body fat, which may be desirable in sports with weight categories.

Anastrozole use for athletes

Anastrozole may also be utilized as an ancillary compound that is to be added to a steroid cycle. For this purpose, it is advantageous to use because as it reduces estrogen in the body, it also increases testosterone levels. Since aromatization (estrogen conversion) is avoided, those who use Arimidex also avoid estrogen-related side effects such as water retention, acne, and gynecomastia (male breast enlargement). Nonetheless, enough estrogen is still left in the body, just enough to attain optimal muscle growth. In steroid cycles, arimidex is always recommended to reduce estrogen-related side effects.

How to use anastrozole in a steroid cycle?

In general, 1 tablet of anastrozole per week is sufficient for athletes. You can use Monday: half a tablet, Thursday: half a tablet. It is best to start taking anastrozole after you have had an estrogen test.
