Anastrozole
An aromatase inhibitor to manage estrogen on TRT — used only when clinically needed.
Anastrozole reduces the conversion of testosterone to estrogen. Within a TRT protocol, it’s used selectively to manage elevated estradiol — only when labs and symptoms warrant it.
Prescription required. Final clinical decisions rest with the prescribing physician.
What is Anastrozole?
Anastrozole is an aromatase inhibitor — it lowers the enzyme that converts testosterone into estrogen. On TRT, some men develop elevated estradiol, which can cause symptoms; anastrozole is used to bring it back into range.
It’s used judiciously — over-suppressing estrogen causes its own problems (joint pain, low libido, bone effects). The physician doses it based on labs and symptoms, not preemptively.

What to know before Anastrozole

- •Only used when labs/symptoms indicate; not a routine add-on.
- •Disclose your full history and current medications.
- •The physician confirms whether anastrozole is appropriate for you.
