Medical Use of Arimidex
Primary Purpose:
-
Treating postmenopausal women with hormone-sensitive breast cancer.
-
It inhibits the aromatase enzyme, which converts androgens (like testosterone) into estrogen, thereby reducing estrogen levels.
Dosage:
-
Standard medical dosage: 1mg once daily.
-
Sometimes used long-term (5+ years) depending on treatment response.
🔸 Use in Bodybuilding & Steroid Cycles
Why it’s used:
-
During anabolic steroid cycles, testosterone levels spike, and so does estrogen due to aromatization.
-
High estrogen can cause:
-
Gynecomastia (development of breast tissue)
-
Water retention & bloating
-
Fat gain
-
Mood swings or depression
-
Anastrozole helps by:
-
Preventing estrogen buildup
-
Keeping your Testosterone:Estrogen ratio in balance
-
Improving muscle hardness and definition by reducing water retention
Typical Bodybuilding Dosage:
-
0.25–1mg every other day (EOD), adjusted based on:
-
Steroid dosage
-
Personal sensitivity to estrogen
-
Blood work (ideal estradiol levels: ~20–30 pg/mL for males)
-
💡 Important: Too much Arimidex can crash your estrogen, leading to joint pain, fatigue, low libido, and poor mood. Balance is key.
