Arimidex

What is Arimidex?

Arimidex by Beligas Pharmaceuticals is a powerful aromatase inhibitor (AI) used by bodybuilders to control estrogen levels during androgen-heavy cycles. Each 1 mg tablet helps prevent water retention, gynecomastia, and other estrogen-related side effects.

Main Effects

• Blocks aromatase enzyme, reducing estrogen conversion
• Prevents gynecomastia and excess water retention
• Maintains hard, vascular muscle appearance
• Supports high-testosterone and anabolic cycles
• Helps stabilize hormonal balance on cycle

How Bodybuilders Use It

Typical dosing is 0.5–1 mg every other day or as needed based on estrogen levels and cycle intensity. Some micro-dose daily for tighter control, especially during high-testosterone stacks. Bloodwork ensures optimal dosing without over-suppression.

Recommended Stacks

• Testosterone Cypionate – base hormone support for high-test cycles
• Testosterone Enanthate – stable gains and synergy with AI
• Boldenone Undecylenate – maintains lean mass while controlling estrogen
• Trenbolone Acetate – paired with AI to prevent estrogenic effects
• Nandrolone Decanoate – AI helps prevent estrogenic water retention
• Clomiphene Citrate – post-cycle recovery support

Half-Life and Detection

Anastrozole has a moderate half-life; dosing frequency depends on estrogen response. Proper timing ensures effective estrogen control without over-suppression.

Side Effects and Control

Possible side effects include joint stiffness, mild hot flashes, or lowered HDL cholesterol. Monitoring and adjusting dosage keeps side effects minimal.
