Can anyone shed some insight as to why doctors that routinely prescribe an AI for TRT patients only seem to script Arimidex and not Aromasin? Has anyone tried to get their Endo to script Aromasin instead? What was their answer?
I did a few quick google searches and Arimidex does seem to have been more thoroughly studied in men, but not by a significant margin IMO. there's still only 3 or 4 good studies of Aromasin on male patients.
Is it a money issue? Is Aromasin that much more expensive? I know insurance companies always want the doc to start with the cheapest possible medication first.
Granted, Arimidex is the more convenient dosing schedule of the 2, with only e3d dosing vs daily with Aromasin. But if the doc is basing the decision on that fact alone, I'd be looking for a new doctor.
Any ideas guys?
