Anastrozole
(Arimidex, United States and Canada)
More drugs used for Cancer.
Use:
Anastrozole or Arimidex is used in treating advanced breast cancer. It is reserved for post menopausal women whose cancer has progressed in spite of treatment with drugs like tamoxifen.

How It Works:
Anastrozole or Arimidex taken orally inhibits the enzyme aromatase. By blocking this enzyme, the production in the body's tissues of estrogen is also blocked. It is thought that some forms of breast cancer are stimulated by estrogen, and by reducing amounts of estrogen in the body the progression of the disease is halted.

Side Effects:
Anastrozole or Arimidex's side effects are similar to megestrol's, with one exception - there is less weight gain. The side effects include enlarged breasts, phlebitis of veins, hair loss, blood clots in the lungs, and carpal tunnel syndrome.

Cautions for People:
People with blood clotting or circulation problems must be monitored closely. Because Anastrozole or Arimidex interferes with female hormones, women who are or may be pregnant should avoid the drug.

Drug Interactions:
Anastrozole or Arimidex is able to enhance the effects of drugs that affect blood clotting and circulation.

Arimidex seems pretty sweet, if you have the cash. The note on blood clotting is interesting, since several AS increase clotting and/or viscosity. Of course, I think an aspirin a day on cycle should be mandatory. Peace!

Yeah but what about the hair loss? What do you think about Proviron? Which do you think is better? Thanks!! I am deciding on the two.

If memory serves (and it sometimes does) hair loss is a problem with proviron too. A little estrogen is a good thing (for the water retention, makes good intramuscular state for protein synthesis). I can't remember why, but for some reason I think proviron is not the best choice. Unless you are doing a really heavy cycle having nolva on hand (or up to 20mg/day) works fine and costs less. I'm interested, so BUMP. Peace!

G-man,

Proviron is reputed to have only a rather weak anti-estrogen effect. Why not just go with Clomid or Nolvadex, if mild-moderate protection is all you will need? Arimidex, on the other hand, is the strongest, most effective estrogen protection you can get, bar none, from aromatizable steroids. At 1 mg per day, it will essentially bring E levels down to zero. Many use lower doses than that, with success. Unfortunately, it costs a fortune.

Which choice to make? It depends on your planned cycle. If you are stacking Test with D-bol, for example, give Arimidex some serious thought. Conversely, if the only aromatizable steroid in your cycle is, say bolderone, Arimidex would be overkill.

Due to the fact that the conversion of testosterone to estradiol is limited by the inhibition of the aromatase enzyme, there will be more testosterone available to be converted to DHT, causing hairloss in those susceptible. Throw in some finasteride and you should be o.k.

I am going to be doing Test,D-bol,Fina, and Winny. Should i just use Clomid? I have done a lot of steriods before without anything like Clomid or Nolva, or Arimidex and never had a problem with Bitch Tits or anything like that. What do you guys think? Will Clomid be enough? Thanks.

In clinical tests arimidex at 1 gram eod only blocks 80% of the production. So it will let some estrogen to be produced, which is good. If you add proscar or a dht blocker it will help also. Arimidex has a half life of about 48 hrs, so a daily dose is not needed. I have had great results with 1/4 pill(.25mg) eod. Always save the clomid for post cycle. There is really no need for it. Since your androgen levels are so high with your gear even with clomid your body wont let the drug do the job its supposed to do. So when you come off extend the arimidex 1 week after gear is done and start the clomid 10 days after your last bump...IMHO

I agree about extending the anti-estrogens post cycle. G-Man what are the dosages of this potentially heavy stack. If combined total of sust and d-bol are a gram or more, go for the arimidex later bro--Tomo
