    Where did you read that nolva and adex shouldn't be taken together? They are fine together.

    my friend works for a doctors office and they recieve pamplets on medications and they recieved some arimidex info and in the pamplet the one drug it says not to be used is nolvadex . I figured it was fine though so I haven't stopped but it made me second guess myself I just thought it was weird.

    "Lets add in an Aromatase Inhibitor! Which one, though? Well, since we are already using Nolvadex , we can’t use Letrozole or Arimidex , as the Nolvadex will actually greatly decrease the blood plasma levels of them (28)!"

    This is a direct quote from the article by Anthony Roberts on this forum.

    I too have some dex and nolva on hand, and am curious as to taking them together...BUMP

    Just something I found.. May or may not be relevant..

    "ARIMIDEX should not be taken with tamoxifen or estrogen-containing therapies"

    http://www.arimidex-us.com/index.aspx


    "At a median follow-up of 33 months, the combination of ARIMIDEX and tamoxifen did not demonstrate any efficacy benefit when compared with tamoxifen in all patients as well as in the hormone receptor-positive subpopulation. This treatment arm was discontinued from the trial. Based on clinical and pharmacokinetic results from the ATAC trial, tamoxifen should not be administrated with anastrozole."

    It further states that,

    "Co-administration of anastrozole and tamoxifen resulted in a reduction of anastrozole plasma levels by 27% compared with those achieved with anastozole alone. Estrogen containing therapies should not be used with ARIMIDEX as they may diminish pharmacologic action."

    http://www1.astrazeneca-us.com/pi/arimidex.pdf


    In my opinion Aromasin should be used instead of Arimidex (L-dex), the major problems being it's super expensive price and unavailability to the non-prescribed users..

    Oh and just in case you don't know. Nolvadex is tamoxifen ...
