Is Anastrozole safe? What the research covers

AResearch: Strong94 meta-analyses · 312 randomized trials on PubMed
Asian J Androl · 2020
A systematic review and meta-analysis of clinical trials implementing aromatase inhibitors to treat male infertility

Conclusion: Either steroidal (Testolactone) or nonsteroidal (Anastrozole and Letrozole) aromatase inhibitors were found to statistically improve all the evaluated hormonal and seminal outcomes with a safe tolerability profile. While the evidence is promising, future prospective randomized placebo-controlled multicenter trials are necessary to better define the efficacy of these medications.
