CLOMID
BASICS:
Clomid is not an
anabolic/androgenic steroid.
Since
Clomid
is a synthetic estrogen it belongs,
however, to the
group of sex hormones.In
school medicine
Clomid is
normally used to trigger
ovulation.
Clomid also has a strong influence on the
hypothalamohypophysial testicular axis.
Clomid stimulates the hypophysis to
release more gonadotropin so that a faster and higher release of FSH
(follicle stimulating hormone) and LH (luteinizing hormone) occurs. This
results in an elevated endogenous (body's own) testosterone level. Clomid
is especially effective when the body's own testosterone production, due
to the intake of anabolic/androgenic steroids, is suppressed. In most
cases Clomid can normalize the testosterone level and the spermatogenesis
(sperm development) within 10- 14 days. For this reason Clomid is
primarily taken after steroids are discontinued. At this time it is
extremely important to bring the testosterone production
to
a normal level as quickly as possible so that the loss of strength and
muscle mass is minimized. Even better results can be achieved if Clomid is
combined with HCG or when Clomid is used after the
intake of HCG.
HOW TO
USE
CLOMID:
Paradoxically, although Clomid is a synthetic estrogen it also works as an
antiestrogen. The reason is that Clomid has only a very low estrogenic
effect and thus the stronger estrogens which, for example, form during the
aromatization of steroids, are blocked at the receptors. These would
include those that develop during the aromatizing of steroids. This does
not prevent the steroids from aromatizing but the increased estrogen is
mostly deactivated since it cannot attach to the receptors. The increased
water retention and the possible signs of feminization can thus be reduced
or even completely avoided. Since the antiestrogenic effect of Clomid is
lower than those found in Proviron and Nolvadex
it is mainly taken as a testosterone stimulant. Clomid is a
medication
that promotes the production of the body's own stimulating hormone,
gonadotropin, which in turn increases the testosterone level. It is, for
example, administered to women as a so-called antiestrogen to trigger
ovulation ("ovulation stimulator").
CLOMID DOSAGE:
Side effects of Clomid are very rare if reasonable dosages are taken.
Possible side effects are climacteric hot flashes and occasional visual
disturbances which can manifest themselves in blurred vision, giving
flickering or flashing. Should visual disturbances occur, the manufacturer
recommends discontinuing Clomid treatment. Inadequate liver functions
cannot be excluded; however, they are very unlikely. In women enlargement
of the ovaries and abdominal pain can occur
since
Clomid stimulates the ovaries. When taking Clomid multiple pregnancies are
possible as well. As for the dosage, 50-100 mg/day (1 -2 tablets) seems to
be sufficient. The tablets are usually taken with fluids after meals. If
several tablets are taken it is recommended that they be administered in
equal doses distributed throughout the day. The duration of intake has
been rummored to not be taken for longer than 10-14 days. This is
incorrect. Clinical studies with male patients have shown clomid to be
used for up to a year or longer. Most athletes begin with 100 mg/day,
taking one 50 mg tablet every morning and evening after meals. After the
fifth day the dosage is often reduced to only one 50 mg tablet per day it
is normally not necessary to take the compound for more than ten days in
order to increase the endogenous testosterone production.
