Clomid is not an anabolic/androgenic steroid. Since it 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. It stimulates the hypo-physis 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 tes-tosterone 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.
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
aromatiz-ing 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, Nolvadex, and Teslac 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").
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.
Inad-equate 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 through-out the day. The duration of intake has been rummored to not
be taken for longer thatn 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. Clomid is relatively expensive.
