LETROZOLE

This medication is used to treat certain types of breast cancer (such as hormone-receptor-positive breast cancer) in women after menopause. Letrozole is also used to help prevent the cancer from returning.

Letrozole prevents the creation of estrogen. In men, this happens naturally as testosterone breaks down.

By slowly the decay of testosterone, it raises natural testosterone levels.

In older men, it prevents “man boobs” (from the estrogen) and also raises testosterone.

I don’t know about “doping”, but a lot of doctors are giving it to older men who want to avoid some of the unfortunate effects of aging.

Re: “This medication is used to treat certain types of breast cancer.”

Might be an “anti-metabolite.”

They test for drugs that “mask” other drugs, too.

Perhaps that is what the cancer drug is doing?

Letrozole is an aromatase inhibitor. It is used in breast cancer patients to keep estrogen levels lower. Bodybuilders use it for the same reason, as when they are artificially boosting testosterone levels, the body converts excess testosterone into estrogen. Letrozole inhibits the hormone that causes that conversion. Female bodybuilders, AFAIK (I’m no expert in the female side of things) would have no need of Letrozole.

The other drug which is also known as Cardarine is not something you would take an aromatase inhibitor with, as it does not affect testosterone or estrogen levels.

I’d say either she’s telling the truth or is really bad at all this, because those two drugs have no reason to be taken together.
