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 recep-tors. 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
at-tach 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 medica-tion 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, giv-ing 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 recom-mended that they be administered in equal doses distributed
through-out the day. The duration of intake should not exceed 10 to 14 days. Most
athletes begin with 100 mg/day, taking one 5 0 mg tablet ev-ery 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. Since
Clomid should not be taken for a prolonged time its application as an antiestrogen
must be excluded because, for that purpose, it would have to be taken for several
weeks.
