By blocking the aromatase enzyme, Arimidex directly lowers the levels of estrogen circulating in the body. This is critical for treating breast cancer because of estrogen’s function on cancer cells. Still, it also serves a great purpose for steroid users, as estrogen is the enemy of steroid use and is responsible for many of the severe side effects we all want to avoid.
As one of the best aromatase inhibitors, Arimidex is considered the most effective choice for combating the estrogenic side effects of aromatizing steroid use like gynecomastia, water retention, and the associated high blood pressure that can come with excess water retention.
Dose during cycle:
——————-
Arimidex is a highly effective aromatase inhibitor at low doses for estrogen control when using steroids that aromatize. Many guys will find that 0.5mg every two days is enough to mitigate all side effects.
Dose post cycle:
——————-
As mentioned already, Arimidex is not a prime choice for post-cycle therapy purposes for the majority of steroid users.
While it has some function for helping stimulate the production of testosterone, its highly suppressive effects on estrogen can result in a less-than-ideal effect on testosterone production and a result that is not as effective as using SERMs like Nolvadex and Clomid, which are more commonly used for PCT purposes, in conjunction with hCG (Human chorionic gonadotropin).
While everyone reacts differently to different drugs, and your post-cycle therapy will also depend on the type of steroid cycle you were on, some may wish to include Arimidex. A dosage of 0.5mg to 1mg daily during the post-cycle therapy cycle is sufficient in these cases.
