Description
Although it is primarily used to treat breast cancer, Arimidex is also approved to increase free testosterone levels in men. There are estrogen levels in men, just as there are testosterone levels in women, so aromatization can occur in both sexes.
It may seem unusual to associate Arimidex and men, but it is equally important to keep levels of estrogen in the male body in balance. Excessive levels of estrogen, in particular estradiol, in men can cause benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), gynecomastia (the development of male breasts), and symptoms of hypogoadism (lack of function in the testes).
By using Arimidex to increase free testosterone levels in their body, the amount of testosterone and adrenal hormones that are converted into estrogens will be reduced.
A number of factors can have an influence on testosterone levels, not least naturally decreasing testosterone levels by age. A number of changes occur as we get older that can alter the balance between testosterone and estrogen. In fact, it is not unusual for a 59-year old man to have more estrogen circulating in his body than a 54-year old woman.
So, men wanting to reduce their conversion of testosterone and adrenal hormones into estrogens may well benefit from taking a regular dose of Arimidex.
The recommended dosages of Arimidex depend on the condition is being taken for.
In postmenopausal women, the dose is usually 1mg, daily by mouth.
An average of 0.25mg to 0.50mg Arimidex per week is recommended for men who want to lower their estrogen levels. As with any course of medicine, it’s always advisable to consult your doctor first.
