Arimidex is a non-steroidal drug used to treat breast cancer. In five to eight decades of life, breast cancer women have been thoroughly studied. Some breast cancer depends on the growth of estrogen. Arimidex works by inhibiting the level of estrogen in the body, thereby reducing the growth of breast cancer. Although taking tamoxifen, the drug is a first-line treatment for postmenopausal women with early breast cancer or advanced breast cancer. Arimidex is usually combined with other drugs for the treatment of postmenopausal women with breast cancer. The drug has been used to treat women in all cultures and races of early or late breast cancer.
ARIMIDEX lowers the amount of oestrogen in the body. The female sex hormones oestrogen and progesterone stimulate many breast cancers to grow. Lowering the level of oestrogen can stop or slow the growth of breast cancer cells.
ARIMIDEX blocks a process called aromatisation which changes sex hormones called androgens into oestrogen. This happens mainly in the fatty tissues, muscle and the skin and needs a particular enzyme called aromatase.
Arimidex Applications:
In studies that have been done, Arimidex has been shown to reduce estrogen in the body by roughly 50%. This is a good balance for bodybuilders , because some estrogen is needed in order for the full anabolic benefits of the steroids being taken to be achieved. These results are typically the same with a dosage of .5 mg a day as they are with a dosage of 1 mg a day, meaning that in most cases, a half tablet a day will be sufficient for estrogen control throughout cycle.
