A member asked:

On new testosterone med. this one is compounded with a built in estrogen blocker.is this a safe and effective strategy for upping levels?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not FDA Approved: What you describe is not fda approved. Although estrogen blockers have been looked at to decrease risk of increased estrogen in men on higher dose testosterone they are not without risk. They can increase risk of blood clot and other symptoms.
