Description
Clomid (Clomiphene Citrate) is in the class of drugs called Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERM). It has anti-estrogen effects and was originally developed as a fertility medication for women who do not ovulate normally.
Clomid is also sometimes prescribed for the treatment of hypogonadism in men as an alternative option to testosterone replacement therapy, with excellent results often seen in this area (increases the output of luteinizing hormone by the pituitary gland), which is why Clomid became such a sought after drug for those using anabolic steroids.
In the world of bodybuilding, Clomid is highly prized for its ability to mitigate estrogenic side effects caused by many steroids during a cycle, as well as for combating the suppression of natural testosterone as a result of using steroids, which is the main goal of its use in post cycle therapy.
Reccomended doses:
The dose you take of Clomid will depend on when you’re using it and for what purpose, most notably during a cycle and after a steroid cycle during PCT.
Clomid is usually used at a low dose during an anabolic steroid cycle with the purpose of protecting you from estrogenic effects. Most men will find that 25mg per day is sufficient to combat these side effects for the duration of the cycle.
Higher doses of Clomid are to be used for the purpose of post-cycle therapy. Normally this will start in the 50mg to 100mg per day range at the start of the PCT cycle.
Usually, this level of dosage will run for up to two weeks, but it depends on your steroid cycle, and for some men, just one week at this higher Clomid dosage can be sufficient.
As Clomid was originally developed as a fertility aid for women, the dosage for this purpose is generally set at 50mg per day, with the occasional increase to 100mg for some women.
