Use of anastrozole lengthened testosterone pellet efficacy

[Nelson Vergel]

Coadministration of Anastrozole Sustains Therapeutic Testosterone Levels in Hypogonadal Men Undergoing Testosterone Pellet Insertion

TP + AZ= testosterone pellets plus anastrozole

TP= testosterone pellets only

TT= Total Testosterone

FT= Free Testosterone

Thirty-eight men with 65 insertions were analyzed. The TP AZ group had significantly higher TT and FT levels than the TP group at >120 days (P&#8201;<&#8201;0.05). The TP group had significantly higher E2 levels at all time points (P&#8201;<&#8201;0.01). GTP levels remained stable in the TP AZ group. Average time to reinsertion in TP AZ was 198 days vs. 128 days in the TP group.

They did not measure changes in erectile or sexual function to compare both groups.

Nelson do you recall where you got that from? I'd like to forward it to my doc who treats many men with pellets.
