Anastrozole has NO EFFECT on prolactin release

[MonarchX]

I had several people on these forums tell me that AI's can control/reduce not only estradiol, but also prolactin. This study shows otherwise - Clinical efficacy of the aromatase inhibitor anastrozole in relation to prolactin secretion in heavily pretreated metastatic breast cancer. - PubMed - NCBI .

Is this true for all AI's or just anastrozole? If AI's do not control/reduce high prolactin levels, then which medications do?

This has to do with breast cancer...

 

[MonarchX]

Is there a study that shows AI's control or reduce Prolactin in non-cancer patients? Got a link? I cannot find any evidence AI's work on Prolactin.

Idk but it did for me and my bloods.

That's the first time I heard that. What I have heard is that prolactin will not cause gyno.

 

[johntt44]

That's in women, correct? I'm guessing that women have higher prolactin than men. Unless the study is on males it doesn't mean much either way. I also think it's different between individuals. I did a 250 test/700 tren cycle using just anastrazole. My post cycle prolactin was low normal range .

Only way to find out if it works or not is blood work.. That's how I know it works

I have never heard anyone state on this site that and AI can reduce or control prolactin.

You noobs perseverating over an issue that is simply not a concern for BB using AAS OR ancillary drugs.

The fact is ANY change that may occur bc of ancillary drugs is insignificant
and NOT relevant on a clinical basis.

The "prolactin issue" is concocted bro BS derived from research that has been twisted, extrapolated and/or misapplied so as to ensure a cause and effect relationship IS LEGITIMIZED on PED forums.

Your and that of everyone else's
that actually investigated this issue for themselves. As for the others, pity as they elected to follow the "experience" of bros!

That's pretty much in line with those who have prolactin secreting pituitary macro-adenoma's (tumors).

That category of patients develop GALACTORRHEA as the primary breast manifestation yet GCM does occur once E-2 levels rise.

The latter occurs bc an elevated PROLACTIN levels can enhance E-2 production in males and females, while by comparison, an elevated E-2 does NOT enhance prolactin secretion in MALES!

Why are u worried about prolactin anyway?

 

[Dr JIM]

Actually that's an excellent rebuttal in part bc "WHY" queries often expose much more
about those asking such a question!

The "answer" often reveals a limited fund of knowledge and inexperience as the genesis in noobs, as such questions provide an opportunity to worry about "issues" that most seasoned vets recognize as minutia or "non-issues".

Good greif man, Where did you find your info on this?

It may not but it MOST CERTAINLY can.

An AI will not work to lower prolactin but and AI will work to lower estrogen which will in turn lower prolactin. High esterogen can lead to high prolactin and the use of an AI will technically lower prolactin but not with direct action on the hormone itself.

You need to also quit callin every person who has a legitamate question that you think is stupid noobs. Use your 'knowledge' as an 'MD' to help people not shoot them down with ignorant statements like that. Its pathetic man.

 

[master.on]

Prolactin can be produced LOCALLY in the breast/chest
so it might be possible to have normal blood prolactin levels
yet high prolactin inside the breast

 

[MonarchX]

Just to add to the confusion, my Prolactin levels also decreased significantly after taking Anastrozole for months... Weird!

Could gyno surgery reduce Prolactin levels?

What type of cycle were you on and how high was your e2 and prolactin going in?
Was your e2 significantly lower along with the prolactin?
Could you post both sets of bloods please?
Also what type of sides were you experiencing?
