Arimidex, on the other hand, is the brand name given to an anti-estrogen compound called anastrozole. Like Aromasin, it was originally developed to help in the fight against breast cancer by reducing estrogen, thereby slowing or even reversing the growth of cancerous tumors. Over time, it also became popular among bodybuilders and athletes interested in protecting themselves against the unwanted side effects associated with anabolic steroids.
Arimidex Benefits
Arimidex is much more affordable than Aromasin, and in some places, it costs half to a third the price of its more expensive counterpart.
Arimidex is widely available online and on the street, making it far more attainable than Aromasin.
Unlike Aromasin, reports of hair loss while using Arimidex to prevent or counteract estrogenic side effects are very rare.
The side effects associated with Arimidex vs. Aromasin are roughly the same, but most men agree that Arimidex is far more tolerable.
Arimidex goes to work in the first couple of days rather than taking a week or more to fully protect against estrogenic side effects.
Arimidex Downfalls
Though it is easier to find, Arimidex may further worsen lipid profiles. When considering Aromasin vs. Arimidex, be sure to consider your personal health. If you have high cholesterol, or if you are using a steroid known to cause high cholesterol, then consider taking Aromasin, instead.
While Arimidex does go to work more quickly, it is less forgiving. Men must be diligent about their dosing, taking it at least every other day, in order to fully protect themselves. Missing even one dose could lead to unwanted sides.
