Arimidex / Anastrozole Profile
Friday, May 06, 2005
Arimidex is a comercial brand of the powerful pharmaceutical compound called Anastrozole.
Arimidex' main function is to be an aromatase inhibitor.
This drug is appropriately used when using substantial amounts of aromatizing steroids, or when someone is prone to gynecomastia and using moderate amounts of such steroids.
Arimidex does not have the side effects of aminoglutethimide (Cytadren) and can achieve a high degree of estrogen blockage, much more than Cytadren. It is possible to reduce estrogen too much with Arimidex, and for this reason blood tests, or less preferably salivary tests, should be taken after the first week of use to determine if the dosing is correct.
Due its nature of aromatase inhibitor, Arimidex's mechanism of action (blocking conversion of aromatizable steroids to estrogen) is in contrast to the mechanism of action of antiestrogens such as clomiphene (Clomid) or tamoxifen (Nolvadex), which block estrogen receptors in some tissues, and activate estrogen receptors in others. During a cycle, if using Arimidex, there is generally no need to use Clomid as well, but (as mentioned in the section on Clomid) there may still be benefits to doing so.
