question from a user
Do you recommend anastrozole or similar for clients whose testosterone target is in the high end of normal range? What dosage?
AlphaMD's Answer
Anastrazole would be considered for when the guy is experiencing estrogenic effects of high estrogen. Symptoms are discussed after each round of treatment. Depending on how much testosterone is being utilized can be very different from guy to guy. Over-saturation of testosterone can lead to these symptoms, and in those cases Aromatiase Inhibitors, such as anastrazole, can help.
