Clomid 50mg
Clomid 50mg in bodybuilding is one of the common pharmacological drugs in the bodybuilders first-aid kit on steroids. In this article we will talk about what Clomid is, how infertility medicine for women got into bodybuilding, give instructions for use on the steroid course and after it (on PCT), and compare what is better than tamoxifen or clomid.
Action on the body
Clomiphene citrate 50mg - the color of the drug may be white or pale yellow, essentially odorless. The substance is freely soluble in methanol, ethanol. It is poorly soluble in acetone, water, and chloroform. Does not dissolve in the air. Clomid 50mg is a mixture of two geometric isomers [cis (zuclomiphene) and trans (enclomiphene)], containing from 30 to 50% of the cis-isomer. One tablet of the drug contains 50 mg of the active substance, as well as some inactive ingredients: corn starch, lactose, magnesium stearate, pregelatinized corn starch and sucrose.
Due to its ability to bind to estrogen receptors in the hypothalamus, Clomiphene Citrate significantly increases the levels of GnRH, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH), thereby leading to greater testosterone production by testicles in men and estrogen in women. But, according to research, this effect of clomid does not exceed, and sometimes turns out to be lower than that of cheaper and more common tamoxifen. Clomid has no direct effect on the amount of estrogen. Its mechanism of action is to block their access to the pituitary gland and the subsequent increase in follicle-stimulating and luteinizing hormone. Available evidence suggests that both the estrogenic and antiestrogenic properties of clomiphene may be involved in the onset of ovulation. It has been found that the two isomers of clomiphene have mixed estrogenic and antiestrogenic effects, which can vary from one species to another. Some evidence suggests that cyclomiphene has more estrogenic activity than anklomifen.
Clomid 50mg has no obvious progestational, androgenic or antiandrogenic effects and, apparently, does not interfere with the function of the pituitary-adrenal or pituitary thyroid gland. Despite the absence of signs of a “tolerable effect”, spontaneous ovulatory menstruation was noted in some patients after clomid therapy.
Clomid 50mg side effects
Its action may adversely affect vision. This drug has a toxic effect on the liver, but it is less than that of Tamoxifen. Also, athletes who consume Clomiphene may experience side effects such as headache, dizziness, insomnia, drowsiness, upset digestive system, nausea and vomiting.
In most cases, all side effects disappear after the end of its use. It should be noted that the use of clomiphene citrate increases the risk of blood clots. In order to minimize this risk, during the period of use of the drug it is necessary to increase the amount of water consumption per day by at least 1 liter.
