Anastrozole (Arimidex) is an oral medication used primarily in the treatment of early hormone receptor-positive breast cancer among postmenopausal women. Here are the key details about this medication:
- Purpose: Anastrozole works by blocking estrogen production. Some types of breast cancer rely on estrogen to grow, so inhibiting its production can help stop tumor growth.

- Active Ingredients:
- Testosterone Enanthate: Each tablet contains 100mg of testosterone enanthate.
- Trenbolone Enanthate: Also at 100mg, trenbolone enanthate is a powerful anabolic steroid.
- Masteron Enanthate: The third component, 100mg of masteron enanthate, contributes to lean muscle gains and provides a hard, defined appearance.
- Side Effects:
- Acne: Possible side effect.
- Water Retention: Yes, some water retention may occur.
- Hepatotoxicity: No liver toxicity.
- Aromatization: Yes, conversion to estrogen is possible.
- Availability: Anastrozole is available as both a generic drug and under the brand name Arimidex.
