If the AI or SERM were something like a chemotherapy agent intended to kill tumor cells by poisoning them, yes, it would be foolish to take such a drug unless you had breast cancer.
But SERMs and AIs act on estradiol, depriving certain tumor cell lines of the estradiol they need to thrive. To me, it's a big difference.
That's not to say that anbody should take SERMs or AIs casually. Some guys, and their docs, have the mistaken notion that an anti-E should be routinely taken.
Actually, an anti-E should only be taken after laboratory confirmation that the guy's E2 needs to be managed
The best and most experienced
TRT docs use anti-E's with a lot of caution.
Its a good thing to maintain some skepticism. There are a lot of docs out there looking to increase their revenue stream by offering
TRT after taking a weekend seminar sponsored by a compounding pharmacy.
