Nolvadex
This remedy is somewhat different from others since it
is not an anabolic/androgenic steroid. For male and female bodybuilders,
however, it is a very useful and recommended compound which is confirmed
by its widespread use and mostly positive results. Nolvadex belongs
to the group of sex hormones and is a so called antiestrogen. Bodybuilders
who take Nolvadex also use anabolic steroids at the same time.
Since most steroids aromatize more or less strongly, i.e. part of the
substance is converted into estrogens, male bodybuilders can experience
a significant elevation in the normally very low estrogen level. This
can lead to feminization symptoms such as gynecomastia (growth of breast
glands), increased fat deposits and higher water retention.
The side effects of Nolvadex are usually low in dosages
of up to 30 mg/day In rare cases nausea, vomiting, hot flashes, numbness,
and blurred vision can occur. In women irregular menstrual cycles can
occur which manifest themselves in weaker menstrual bleeding or even
complete missing of a period. Women should also be careful not to get
pregnant while taking Nolvadex. It is important for female athletes
that Nolvadex and the "pill" not be taken together since the
antiestrogen Nolvadex and the estrogen-containing pill negatively counterfeit
each other. The normal daily dosage taken by athletes corresponds more
or less to the dosage indications of the manufacturer and is 10-30 mg/day.
