Do you mean anastrozole? If yes, I wonder who gives you told you about taking this medication for delaying the epiphyseal fusion. Please do not do that.

As you are not female, postmenopausal, or having advanced breast cancer, this medication is not for you. Consider also the possibility that you might actually accelerate the process you are trying to inhibit.
