A member asked:
Need help in reducing e2 (oestradiol). need some advice in dosing aromatase inhibitors. tried arimidex as well as aromasin (exemestane) but got bone mineral loss..

Go see your doctor: Presumably you're taking Arimidex (anastrozole) to control your Estradiol to treat gynecomastia (rather than trying to jack up your testosterone). Loss of bone mineral density is a known consequence of excessively lowering one's estradiol. I'm not clear what kind of trouble you're having w/your dosing since you didn't mention your regimen. Regardless, you need to address your concern w/your doctor.
