Title: How long does Arimidex take to "work"?
Post by: strength on October 02, 2008, 08:58:45 AM

I always used it as a precautionary measure, never after actually having symptoms.  How long does it usually take to knock out the estrogen?

I am taking .25 mg EOD.  Tenderness and swelling is almost 100% gone but i may bump it up to .5 MG ED until its totally gone.

My guess would be within two or three days - I think the half-life is 24 or 36 hours.

Yup.  I only take it 1-2x a week and I'll take a pill in the morning and by the afternoon my puffyness is gone.

It appears arimidex has a 2 day half life and will take about 7 days to achieve stable blood levels with standard dosing.

This sounds a bit more like my results.....usually in a week all is good but it tends to pull alot of water out of me as well.

An important fact about AIs, they will not remove existing levels of estrogen, they only prevent aromatase.  If you are showing symptoms of gynecomastia you should be taking a SERM for a few days to remove existing levels, by the time those are lowered the AIs should be working in order to prevent additional aromatization.
