                             Tamoxifen Citrate

Description:

Tamoxifen Citrate is a Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulator (SERM) that was created in 1961 by ICI now known as AstraZenaca. There are numerous brands including generic forms of Tamoxifen Citrate on the market, but Nolvadex is the most well known.Often referred to as an anti-estrogen, Tamoxifen Citrate is actually both an antagonist and agonist. This means it will act as an anti-estrogen in certain areas of the body while acting as an estrogen in other areas.

Tamoxifen Citrate has been used medically for decades and has been highly successful in breast cancer treatment, specifically hormone-responsive breast cancer. It is also a medication that is used by many anabolic steroid users, but it is not a steroid. This is a drug steroid users will sometimes use during steroid use to help with estrogenic related side effects brought on by specific steroids. However, it is most commonly used during Post Cycle Therapy (PCT). PCT is the 3-6 week period following steroid use that is implemented in order to help with natural testosterone production that is suppressed during anabolic steroid use.

Application:

1)For the purpose of breast cancer treatment there are six Tamoxifen Citrate plans that encompass both male and female treatment. In any of the six plans doses normally fall in the 10-20mg twice per day range. A full 40mg per day (20mg twice per day) is very common during the first stage of Tamoxifen Citrate treatment. Many breast cancer patients will also continue 10-20mg per day indefinitely once the cancer is in remission in order to prevent it from coming back.

2)We have the anabolic steroid user. For on cycle gynecomastia prevention 10-20mg per day is the standard range. If this dosing range does not help it is unlikely any dose will and AI's should strongly be considered. Some men are afraid to use AI's because they fear they might hinder their gains. It's true you will hold less water therefore weigh less, but water is not an actual gain. Besides, would you rather weigh just a little less or have massive and unattractive gynecomastia?

3)We're left with PCT use. Most PCT plans will begin with Tamoxifen Citrate doses of 40mg per day and will continue at this dose for 2-3 weeks. The dose will then be reduced to 20mg per day and will continue at this dose for 2-3 weeks. For a proper PCT it will often include another SERM Clomiphene Citrate (Clomid).
