Historical reference

Clomid was first used as a fertility drug in the early 1970s in the United States. Now this drug is widely known outside the United States. Now it is produced under the names: Clomid, Serofen, Sepafar, Omifin, Pergotheim, Gonafen, Duinum, Clostil, Ovamit, Clomifene, Clomiphene and Clostilbegite.

Pharmacological action (according to the manufacturer)

Antiestrogenic. Binds estrogen receptors in the hypothalamus and ovaries. Ingestion is well absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. Metabolized in the liver. It is excreted in the bile, undergoes enterohepatic recirculation. It is excreted from the body with feces. The half-life is 5-7 days. In small doses, it enhances the secretion of gonadotropic hormones (prolactin, FSH and LH), stimulates ovulation. With a low content of endogenous estrogens in the body, it has a moderate estrogenic effect, with a high level - antiestrogenic. By reducing the level of circulating estrogen, it promotes the secretion of gonadotropins. In large doses, it inhibits the secretion of gonadotropins. Does not possess gestagenic and androgenic activity.

Clomiphene citrate properties

Study have shown when used in men, Clomid (Clomifene, Clomiphene) Tablets acts partly as an antiestrogen and can be used to counteract some of the side effects of anabolic agents such as gynecomastia and water retention. Clomid capsules can also increase the production of follicle-stimulating and luteinizing hormones, which increases testosterone levels. This is especially useful after a "cycle" when endogenous testosterone levels are very low. In this case, Clomid is used together with chorionic gonadotropin and tamoxifen to accelerate recovery after a course. If testosterone is not returned to normal levels within a short time, then serious loss of mass and strength is possible. This is a consequence of the fact that without testosterone / other androgens, the catabolic hormone cortisol becomes the dominant player in the synthesis of proteins in the muscles, causing catabolism, which can eat a significant part of the muscles acquired on the course. It should be noted that all triphenylethylene compounds (toremifene citrate, tamoxifen citrate, clomiphene citrate) tend to have an estrogen-like effect in the liver. This means that they can block estrogen in some areas of the body, while they can act like estrogen in other areas. An important role here is played by the ability to regulate the level of synthesis of good and bad cholesterol.

When using anabolic steroids, risk factors for the cardiovascular system appear, which are aggravated by the use of aromatase inhibitors. Using Clomid pills, nasal spray and injectable can stop gynecomastia and at the same time maintain the necessary balance of good and bad cholesterol. that all triphenylethylene compounds (toremifene citrate, tamoxifen citrate, clomiphene citrate) tend to have an estrogen-like effect in the liver.

The drug also stops the negative feedback relationship of estrogens along the hypothalamus-pituitary-testes axis, thereby increasing the production of gonadotropins (LH and FSH). In this action, it is similar to tamoxifen and cyclophenyl. More LH means more testosterone. This effect is most valuable after the "course", within the framework of the comprehensive PCT program. You will take your dosage of Clomid on the day your doctor has advised.
