Splitting Arimidex Pills? Think again..

[Slopain]

(I post this in reply to another topic currently up and thought more people might take a look as I think alot of folks share a misconception regarding how exactly a mg of something is floating around in a tab, and not dissolved equally throughout it.)

With regards to Arimidex and other pills that are 1mg of something.

If you split the pill in 4ths you will get 3 blanks and 1 with one full mg in it. You might even lose that mg if it splits and there are crumbs. Picture a grain or two of salt in a tab that’s what is occurring here in these Arimidex tabs.

1mg is so small - the 1mg isn't dissolved throughout the whole tab, its just surrounded by the filler stuff. So if you keep the mg intact when splitting the pills you will have 3 days of nothing (placebo for all practical purposes) and 1 day of a full mg. Knowing the half life of Anastrazole you’d benefit much more if you took it daily then every third day.

If you have Liquidex or something similar (that isn’t water suspended) the consistency is dissolved throughout so you can more accurately dose smaller quantities, but with the tabs just know that you are not in any way getting 1/4 a mg just because you split a tab into 4ths.

i read something like that somewhere and the guy said to take 1mg every third day.

how in the hell your cutting those little fuckers into 4..i have a hard enough time spiltting them in 1/2

The half life is around 1 day for anastrazole so taking it every three days isn't as effective as it could possibly be.

Pill cutters, get them at the pharmacy for a few dollars. I wouldn't advise doing it though.

This is such a simple but such a great post.

heh, if it's soluble with water then you may wanna dissolve a few tabs in a controlled volume of water.. that way the thing is dissolved throughout consistently and you can control the dosage easier..

just a thought,

so when everyone suggest taking .25 mg what did they mean by that?

I and most vets on the scene recommend you take 1mg ed to relize the full effects, people used to take 1/2mg and less b/c the costs were so high to use it properly, but with Liquidex and other quality cheaper alternatives that cut costs literally less than half of the old price - it makes sense to use it how it is supposed to be used.

But if you still want some water bloat as someone stated earlier for some strength gains (even though that weight is fleeting anyways) get Liquidex and dilute it or take 1mg every 2 or three days - this isn't the best way to utilize the full effects of Anastrazole and I think its a sin to use it this way but if you must that is an alternative.

our asian friends tabs are .25mg each -

would recommend disolving the tabs in glycerin/gycerol for better absorbtion.
