They are pretty much all the same except - Arimidex and Femara both work by the same mechanism and are non steroidal aromatase inhibitors. Aromosin works by a different (chemical reaction) than the other 2 and is a steroidal AI. Therefore, let's say you try Arimidex and it gives you lots of side effects, then you should try Aromosin next because it is different.
Currently, they are all touted to work the same but there is a major study going on testing the 3 of them head to head but I don't think the results will be there for many years.
I am on Arimidex but that's just what my doctor gives and I really don't think it makes a difference whatsoever.
I have heard though that if you have cholestrol problems, Aromosin doesn't make that situation worse (and Arimidex and Femara have a lesser known side effect of making that worse).
Have a nice weekend
