Clomid 50 UPA

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.

Two of the most dreaded estrogen caused side effects that anabolic steroid users want to avoid are water retention and gynecomastia (gyno). Clomid is useful for tackling both adverse effects which, if left to advance, can lead to some serious negative implications.

Excess water retention can not only ruin your physique and mask your gains, but also lead to high blood pressure. While gyno can become untreatable if left too long, with surgery the only option. So, it goes without saying that Clomid is a hugely powerful tool in the arsenal of any anabolic steroid user.

Dosage Instructions

25mg – 50mg / day

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 Dosage During Anabolic Steroid Use
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.

Some will increase this to 50mg per day if adverse effects are rearing their head but taking the dosage of Clomid any higher is not considered effective and 25mg per day is thought to be enough to mitigate undesirable effects; in the event where it is not, a different SERM like Nolvadex may be required or in some cases, turning to an aromatase inhibitor drug instead.

Female Clomid Dosage
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.

We can see that this is an identical dosage to that which is recommended for men to use Clomid during a steroid cycle. This indicates that 50mg or 100mg maximum is the maximum effective dose of Clomid, with higher dosages having no benefit but coming with greater side effect risks.

When it comes to females who use steriods, the use of Clomid is not necessary as neither estrogenic side effects nor testosterone suppression are a concern for females.

Clomid Dosage for Post Cycle Therapy (PCT) and Increased Endogenous Testosterone Secretion
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.

The next one-to-two-week period of PCT will then drop the Clomid dosage back down to 50mg daily, with the last week or two consisting of a 25mg per day or 50mg every other day Clomid dosage. A good PCT cycle will run for at least 4 weeks, and up to 8 weeks, so your Clomid dosage plan should be scheduled according to the length of your PCT.

Most bodybuilders will not use Clomid alone in PCT, finding that it is not effective enough as a sole drug, but instead used alongside Nolvadex and HCG (and sometimes an aromatase inhibitor as well) to maximize the efficiency that normal testosterone function can be restored. So, while Clomid is effective for some people at the above doses for PCT, most will find that Nolvadex is much more effective as a SERM.
