Arimidex Uses

[JuicyFroot]

I am one of those who gets gyno symptoms just by thinking about doing a cycle. I keep it under control with Tamoxifen, but am thinking of trying Arimidex. For what I hear it's not good for inhibiting all aromatization of AS into estrogen. It works for Testosterone, but not for dbol, for example. Could someone explain why it works in one case, and not in another? Or at least provide a list of AS for which it will prevent aromatization into Estrogen, and for which ones it will not?

This stuff ain't cheap, so I'd rather not use it if it isn't going to work with my cycle.

I too am one of those GYNO people...I have been using 1/2 tab EOD for my whole cycle...SUS, EQ, PROP and DBOL. I am on week 3 and things are smooth...no itchy nipps, no pain, no irritation, and no lump...so I think for me it is going ok.

As far as ARMI not working on DBOL, I personaly find it working great...because if I do not take it, I get gyno by the 10th day.

I would say use it, and keep NOLV around just in case it does not work for you. But if it does work for you, you will find it is good stuff.

hope this helps??

I'm gonna try Femara this cycle, I usually just have nolva. on hand. I hear fem. and arim. are good for fat burning also. Like steakhelmet said, I would have the nova. on hand just in case.

OK. That's a new one. I've seen Femara on a list, but had no clue what it was. I just did an online search and see that it is an aromatase inhibitor, same as Arimidex. I see that on a mg per mg basis it is somewhat cheaper than Armimidex (at least on the list I have). How do they compare? Anyone have experience with both?

I bought the generic Femara (Letrozole). Its actually a little bit more expensive than Arimidex. Their 2mg. tabs so their a little bit stronger than Arimidex. I heard Femara is supposed to be better than Arimidex, but I'm no expert. Gyno is usually not a problem for me but I'm running a big cycle next, and may have some water retention. Like I said before, its also supposed to be good for fat burning.

Femera is far superior to arimidex & safer too. It doesn't mess with yoru lipid profile as much as arimidex does. I don't even bother with arimidex anymore & nolvadex is more useful as a post cycle drug than for gyno prevention.

Product / Effect / Percentage

Formestance (4-androstenoldion) Increases IGF-1 / 26%
Femera (letrozole) Increases IGF-1 / 24%
Aromasin (exemestance) Increases IGF-1 / 28%
Arimidex (anastozole) Decreases IGF-1 / 18%
Nolvadex(tamoxifen citrate) Decreases IGF-1 / 23.5%
Faslodex (fulvestrant) Decreases IGF-1 / 70%
Cytradren (aminoglutethimide) Increases IGF-1 / 27%

Obviously if IGF levels decrease so does packing on weight and the amount of lean tissue lost during a calorie restricted periods as well.
Aromatase inhibitors decrease the amount of estrogen/estradiol and estrogen receptor antagonists to keep out of the specific pituitary receptors.
The use of certain inhibitors can affect the IGF-1 production and receptors our tissues posses.
