It’s possible. Arimidex is only approved for use in certain females* who’ve gone through menopause. This is because it’s only been studied in females.
But doctors might prescribe Arimidex for off-label use in males* to treat breast cancer that’s fueled by estrogen. Off-label means using a drug for a purpose other than what it’s been approved for.
Arimidex may also be prescribed off-label for certain males who are taking testosterone replacement therapy (TRT). TRT can cause increased estrogen levels in the body, and your doctor might prescribe Arimidex to lower estrogen levels.
Side effects in females may differ from those in males. Recommended dosages may differ as well.
If you’re a male and you’re interested in taking Arimidex, talk with your doctor. They can help determine if Arimidex is a safe option for you.
