Effects

For the user of anabolic steroids, the effects of anastrozole are greatly appreciated in its ability to protect against estrogen-related side effects.

By including Anastrozole in an anabolic steroid cycle that contains aromatizing steroids, the individual can protect themselves against gyncomastia and water retention. It will also protect against high blood pressure.Some steroids can still cause high blood pressure without water retention, but excessive water retention is the main culprit of high blood pressure in anabolic steroid users. Without a doubt, AIs like Anastrozole are the most effective anti-estrogens in combating estrogen-related side effects.

As a testosterone boosting compound, Anastrozole may be of interest for low testosterone treatment plans and for post cycle therapy (PCT) for anabolic steroid users. In the case of low testosterone treatment, this is often not enough. However, it may still be beneficial in conjunction with exogenous testosterone therapy to protect against estrogenic side effects. As for the use of PCT, some will try it and it can have a positive effect.
