Arimidex

Arimidex is a treatment for breast cancer that some bodybuilders take to reduce the side effects of anabolic steroids. The drug lowers estrogen levels in the body.

Bodybuilders who take anabolic steroids to try to increase muscle mass and improve athletic performance can experience a range of symptoms. In some cases, males might start to grow breasts due to an increase in estrogen levels.

Arimidex lowers estrogen levels and can prevent breast growth in males. However, the drug also has side effects of its own.

Arimidex is the brand name for anastrozole. Doctors may prescribe the drug to postmenopausal women with certain types of breast cancer.

Arimidex stops aromatase from working in the body. Aromatase is an enzyme that makes estrogen from steroid hormones, including testosterone. By doing this, it lowers the amount of estrogen in the body.

People who use anabolic steroids for bodybuilding can experience a range of side effects.

These drugs disrupt hormone production in the body and may increase estrogen. Higher levels of estrogen can cause males to develop gynecomastia, which is the enlargement of the breast glands.

By reducing estrogen levels, Arimidex could prevent gynecomastia in males taking anabolic steroids.

Arimidex can cause several side effects by disrupting hormone production in the body. For example, lower estrogen levels can lead to the thinning and weakening of bones.

Some other common side effects include:

• joint pain
• nausea and vomiting
• hot flashes
• weakness
• tiredness
