Anastrozole — Arimidex by Dragon Pharma

Arimidex is Dragon Pharma's formulation of Anastrozole at 1mg per tablet — the most widely used aromatase inhibitor (AI) for managing estrogen-related side effects during anabolic steroid cycles. Supplied in a 100-tablet pack, Arimidex allows precise control over estrogen conversion from aromatising compounds such as testosterone.

What Is Anastrozole (Arimidex)?

Anastrozole is a non-steroidal aromatase inhibitor that works by binding to the aromatase enzyme — the enzyme responsible for converting testosterone into estrogen. By inhibiting this enzyme, Anastrozole reduces circulating estrogen levels, which is the primary mechanism behind managing estrogen-related side effects from aromatising anabolic steroids. Unlike SERMs (such as Nolvadex) which block estrogen at the receptor level, Anastrozole reduces estrogen production itself.

Effects and Benefits

• Reduces circulating estrogen levels by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme
• Manages water retention and bloating caused by elevated estrogen on aromatising compounds
• Reduces the risk of gynecomastia developing during a cycle with testosterone or other aromatising AAS
• Can help manage blood pressure increases that are partly estrogen-driven
• Used both on-cycle (to manage estrogen from AAS) and during PCT (to support the hormonal recovery environment)

Dosage and Administration

Anastrozole is typically dosed in fractions of a tablet — splitting the 1mg tablet into quarters (0.25mg) is common for on-cycle dosing. The correct dose depends heavily on the aromatising load of the compounds being used and individual aromatase activity; many users start at the lower end and adjust based on symptoms and, ideally, bloodwork (estradiol levels).
