Is it common gel users to also use Arimidex or similar product?

[Jake14]

Without doing a poll, is there a sense as to whether it is common for gel users also use Arimidex or similar product? I did not know if gel use made that less of a needed. Of course, if your E is greatly elevated, I guess you should consider it. Thanks for your response.

I think you answered your own question.


Everyone is different and while some on a gel may not need an AI some others may...many variables to consider.

Test is test, and E is E. Regardless of the delievery method, if your E is high then you should consider an AI.

funkymonk is correct. Howver, it is not "as" common for gel uses to use AI. There are several reasons for this. Gel is delivered every day, so unlike weekly injects you have lower spikes. Lower spikes means lower probability of needing an AI. The second thing is Gel is not as effective for many people as injections. So by the nature of the delivery mechanism, your T levels will be lower. Finally, docs who prescribe Gel tend to prescribe less than when injections are prescribed.

Thanks for the response. I was interested in whether it was common.

Just run labs on a regular basis and let that be the determining factor with your AI usage and/or dosage.
