FOR MEN:
Clomid is a drug commonly used by males after the administration of testosterone and or derivatives to help restore normal testosterone production by blocking the negative feedback loop of the hypothalamic-pituitary-testicular axis. It works by increasing the release of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) and luteinizing hormone (LH), stimulating the testes to produce more testosterone.
Clomid’s typical half-life is around 5-7 days. A typical recommended dose for males is 50-100mg per day for 4-6 weeks after the end of the exogenous hormone adminsistration.This will gradually restore the body’s natural testosterone production. It is important to note that Clomid may cause side effects such as hot flashes, mood swings, headaches, and decreased libido.In addition, it may increase the risk of certain health problems such as prostate cancer and cardiovascular disease.
FOR WOMEN:
Clomid (clomiphene citrate) is a drug used to treat female infertility. It stimulates the production of gonadotropins, hormones necessary for ovulation. Clomid works by binding to estrogen receptors in the hypothalamus, the part of the brain that controls the release of gonadotropins. This stimulates the pituitary gland to release more luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), triggering ovulation.
The typical half-life of Clomid is approximately 5 days. The recommended dose of Clomid to treat female infertility is 50 mg orally for 5 days starting on day 5 of the menstrual cycle.
Common side effects of Clomid include hot flashes, headaches, mood swings, gas, and nausea. In some cases, it can also lead to vision problems and an increased risk of developing ovarian cysts. Women who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant should not take Clomid as it can cause birth defects. It is also not recommended for women with a history of liver disease or abnormal vaginal bleeding.
