What is Anastrozole?
Research compound aggregated from creator and literature mentions. No direct disease-treatment claims are made on this page.
Experts on background and overview ยท 4 cited mentions
"Keep the anastrozole in at half a milligram daily for 1 week, then half a milligram three times a week for another week, and then by that time EQ start to saturate and it should be okay."
"6.25 25 milligrams aromomasin twice per week or proviron on top of the anavar probably not a good idea... I would just go with aromomasin 6.25 milligrams twice per week"
"My wife is 40, has been having high estrogen midcycle each month. Do you see any issues with giving 1.4 milligrams of nastil for a quick knockdown? No, I don't think that's a good idea because she produces estradile directly in the uterus."
