Serum estradiol tests are not implemented widely by AAS users n order to adjust anastrozole levels. Most simply judge it based upon level of water retention, sensitivity of nipples, and extent to which joint aches are tolerable/noticeable. While estrogen-based tests may be better and certainly more acurate, many do not feel these are needed or worth the time/expense.
Also, being that most recognize Test Enan to have a half life of 4 days, administration of twice a week is common among AAS users (though many endocrinologists use once a week administration).
In terms of Pantoprazole, I do not believe it is contraindicated with anastrozole, but a doctor or pharmacist (who is also bound to confidentiality) could answer this question. If it is not, the anastrozole administration could happen every other morning, evening, etc.

I was thinking I could start 1mg then if my E is too low I can lower the dose?
I read 4-5 days half life and figured I should not bother with more than once a week. I guess I was wrong.[/quote]
5 days is probably accurate. By the 5th day half of the drug would be “gone”. You dont want the levels to fluctuate by 50%, roughly speaking. Steady blood levels make for a smoother cycle.
Do it every 3 to 4 days. Inject 400 mgs the first day, then 400mgs the 3rd day, and then just inject 375mgs every 4th day there after. Trust us, your virgin muscle bellies will be a lot happier taking 1.5-2 cc’s instead of taking 3-4 ccs all in one shot…

Last question, I use Pantoprazole (proton pump inhibitor) ED upon waking. Considering this, when should I take the Adex? Does it differ?[/quote]
how much do you take? u don’t want ur stomach acids to get too low. Otherwise, there’s no real problem.

You should read more about the pharmokinetics of the drug. It doesnt go from 100% to 50% in one day. Its a time release.
Injecting every day is clearly the best way to keep levels most stable, regardless of the ester.
But with an enanthate ester injecting every 3 days makes the most sense, practically speaking. I prefer injecting Sunday morning and wednesday evening. 3.5 days apart.
