ARIMIDEX 1

which is a non-steroidal medicine, belonging to the family of aromatase enzyme inhibitors. This means that arimidex, or anastrozole, works as a powerful anti-estrogen.

The main steroids in which this occurs are all forms of testosterones, dianabol (methandienone), deca-durabolin (nandrolone decanoate), and to a lesser extent boldenone. If estrogen is not controlled by the use of an anti-estrogen, then the following side effects related to elevated estrogen levels begin to occur:

The most annoying of these side effects of an estrogenic nature is the possible development of gynecomastia, which is the formation of breast tissue under the nipple area. If not treated quickly, it can become irreversible and require surgical intervention.
