Apoxar Nolvadex General Description

Apoxar Nolvadex (also known as Tamoxifen) is a drug product of the sex hormone group. It it used in bodybuilding as a means of health protection, not for achieving anabolic effects. Nolvadex is not considered to be an anabolic drug, commonly used instead for:

• anabolic-androgenic steroid cycles as an auxiliary drug to prevent the manifestation of adverse reactions;
• PCT to restore the regular functioning of the human body.

At first the drug’s been used in medicine for treating mammary gland cancers. Nowadays it’s used in sports due to the fact that androgenic and anabolic drugs increase the level of female sex hormones (estrogens), which leads to reversion to female type manifesting as gynecomastia (breast growth in men, female-type obesity, excessive water retention). The onset of gynecomastia is quite easy to determine in athletes – there is a sort of an irritation sensation in the mammary glands general area, itching around the nipples, a palpable swelling in the area and even possible transparent discharge.

Apoxar Nolvadex Benefits

Apoxar Nolvadex is part of the non-steroid antiestrogens group that suppress the estrogen receptors. The drug’s primary action concerns the restoration of the main male sex hormone concentration in the body while reducing the estrogen levels. Athletes may use Nolvadex to eliminate excess fat deposits when on a low-calorie diet, increase mass growth and stop the already existing steroid-related adverse reactions from manifesting. 

The main effects from the drug’s usage include:

• restored endogenous testosterone production;
• blocked estrogens activity throughout the body, including the hypothalamus and pituitary gland – this means that the antiestrogen not only helps to restore the production of the male hormone, but also prevents fluid retention, swelling, and minimizes setbacks;
• increases the concentration of high density cholesterol in the bloodstream – the excess of the "good" cholesterol over the "bad" one reduces the likelihood of developing cardiovascular diseases, which are often seen manifesting in competing athletes.

Apoxar Nolvadex is relatively mild, the peak estrogen activity manifests itself in liver cells, which is generally beneficial for the body. This antiestrogen significantly increases the testosterone concentration in the athletes’ bodies. Studies have shown that the testosterone concentration is increased by 42% when compared to the endogenous levels if the athlete uses the drug at 20 mg daily for 10 days straight. The level of the main male hormone is increased by 83% if the drug is used for more than 1.5 months.

Apoxar Nolvadex Possible Side Effects

Despite its efficiency, Nolvadex can still lead to a variety of side effects. Such effects are often caused by antiestrogens-related properties of the drug Failure to maintain the recommended dosages and/or the duration of usage in women can provoke negative side effects in the form of partial loss of hair or complete baldness, hot flashes throughout the body, genital itching, pain in the bones.
Male athletes may encounter rise in body temperature, nausea, dizziness. Normal kidney function may be impaired due to fluid retention in the body. Some may experience bouts of severe headaches, depression and drowsiness.

Nolvadex can cause digestive disorders in the form of constipation and anorexia, as well as possible fatigue. Negative effects also include inflammation of the retina, cataracts, partial or complete loss of vision. The usage may cause skin rash. Some users have also reported migraines, corneal changes, confusion. Nolvadex can cause serious damage to the body in cases of severe liver diseases, so the drug is not recommended for people with hepatitis and other serious diseases. 

The antiestrogen increases the amount of progesterone receptors, which is why it’s not recommended for usage during a drug cycle or PCT if the cycle had progesterone anabolic drugs like trenbolone or nandrolone. Using Nolvadex after Trenbolone and Nandrolone leads to prolactin gynecomastia. It’s advised to immediately stop using Nolvadex and replace it with another antiestrogen like Clomid or Toremifene to eliminate side effects (the latter drug is a modified version of Nolvadex, devoid of many of its adverse reactions).

Apoxar Nolvadex Administration and Dosage

It’s recommended to use aromatase inhibitors like Apoxar, Proviron during anabolic and androgenic drug cycles. Such drugs won’t suppress the production of the growth hormone and will instead increase the level of anabolic hormones due to suppressed aromatization. Nolvadex should be used as the primary component of post-cycle therapy during the last week of the drug cycle and the 2 weeks after the cycle. If Proviron has not been used during the anabolic-androgenic steroid cycle, then the antiestrogen is used starting from the second week of the cycle up to 2-3 weeks after it’s been completed. The regular dosage is at 10-20 mg. The maximal daily dosage is at 40 mg.

It’s not necessary to use Nolvadex during the last week of the cycle, as post-cycle therapy should be started when the action of the active steroid component ends. Depending on the used anabolic drug, this period may be different. It’s not always needed to use antiestrogens during the cycle: if the steroid drugs used are not prone to aromatization, there’s no need to use aromatase inhibitors, so Nolvadex is introduced starting only at the end of the cycle.
Testosterone boosters and other sport supplements are recommended for restoring the testosterone levels and other body functions during PCT.
