Attention! The administration of the project does not approve or encourage you to use anabolic steroids. The use of anabolic steroids can cause irreparable harm to your health. This article is for informational purposes only.
The control of estradiol and prolactin, especially on the course of anabolic steroids, helps to avoid many side effects. Such as: fluid retention, high blood pressure, impaired libido, mood swings, apathy, drowsiness, gynecomastia, female-type fat deposition, slow metabolism. After the steroid cycle, high estradiol and prolactin can reduce the effectiveness of Post Cycle Therapy (PCT) by suppressing the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis. Since the basis of any correct steroid course is testosterone, which is most prone to aromatization, this article will be relevant for all competent steroid users.

Estradiol and aromatase inhibitors
As you know on the steroid course, testosterone can be converted to estradiol, and this process is called aromatization. This is especially true for people with a high percentage of subcutaneous fat. High estradiol on the steroid cycle is the cause of many of the side effects that are described above.
To avoid this, on the steroid course, drugs called aromatase inhibitors (blockers) are used to reduce aromatization. Aromatase inhibitors are mainly used during the steroid cycle. But they can also be used after Post Cycle Therapy if estradiol remains high.
At the moment, the most popular aromatase inhibitors are: letrozole, anastrozole, exemestane. All of these drugs can be bought at a pharmacy or from the dealer where you buy steroids. At dealers, the price is different but not so expensive compared to a pharmacy. In a pharmacy, the price will be much higher, but even a pharmacy aromatase inhibitors can be a fake. Therefore, after determining the dosage of aromatase inhibitor during the steroid course, and after a week of taking it, you should take a blood test. Firstly, to determine the correctness of the prescribed dosage. And secondly, in order to make sure that your aromatase inhibitor is working.
Letrozole has trademarks of letroza, letromar, estrolet. Pharmacy letrozole is available in a dosage of 30 (rarely 60) tablets of 2.5 mg. The course is used at a dosage of 0.5 mg (1/5 tablet) every other day.
Anastrozole which trade names are egistrazol, anastrozole kabi, selana. Pharmacy anastrozole is available in a dosage of 28 tablets of 1 mg. The course is used at a dosage of 0.5 mg (1/2 tablet) every other day.
Exemestane is a brand name for Aromasin. Pharmacy exemestane is available in a dosage of 30 tablets of 25 mg. The course is used at a dosage of 12.5 mg (1/2 tablet) every other day.
But this is only a general recommendation. Due to a number of reasons, this dosage may be too little or too much for you. As I have already written, a week after taking the prescribed dosage, a control blood test is necessary.
Prolactin and prolactin blockers
A high level of prolactin, like estradiol, during the steroid course can also lead to a number of side effects described above. Mainly, prolactin on the steroid cycle may increase due to the intake of progestins – drugs with pronounced progestogenic activity. These are drugs such as nandrolone, trenbolone, oxymetonol, boldenone. But, this does not mean that on the steroid course in which these drugs are not present, prolactin should not be monitored. Prolactin can also rise on a cycle with testosterone.
Prolactin blocker is cabergoline (active ingredient). Trademarks of cabergoline are dostinex, agalates and bergolac (in some countries). They are produced in dosages of 2 tablets of 0.5 mg or 8 tablets of 0.5 mg. You can buy them at a pharmacy. Bergolac is the most affordable (in my country).
The dosage of cabergoline is usually given at 0.25 mg (1/2 tablet) once a week. With an increase in prolactin levels significantly above the reference values, the dosage may be 0.25 mg (1/2 tablet) every four days.
But this is only a general recommendation. Due to a number of reasons, this dosage may be too little or too much for you. As I have already written, a week after taking the prescribed dosage, a control blood test is necessary.
