Virtufen

Clomifen Citrate Tabl. 50mg

30 Tablets

Introduction

Clomiphene citrate tablets are available as Virtufen. Virtufen belongs to selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) class of medication. The drug is often used by the anabolic steroid users as a post cycle therapy (PCT) medication. It is used to regain the natural testosterone production, which is reduced due to anabolic steroid use. Bodybuilders use Virtufen due to its strong anti-estrogen properties.

What are Virtufen tablets used for?

  • Virtufen is used in the post cycle therapy (PCT).

  • It is used to stimulate the testosterone production in anabolic steroid users.

How do Virtufen tablets act?

Virtufen acts by stimulating the release of gonadotropins. These are the protein hormones secreted by the pituitary gland, which triggers the release of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH). An increase in LH levels elevates the total testosterone levels in the body. Thus, Virtufen possesses traits that stimulate testosterone levels, which are suppressed by the use of anabolic steroids.

Available forms of Virtufen

Virtufen is available in the form of tablets.

How to take Virtufen tablets?

Take Virtufen as directed by your doctor. The usual recommended dosage of the drug is 50 to 100 mg. A high dosage higher than 200 mg may increase your risk of side effects. Do not alter the dosage or take the drug for more than recommended duration. The risk of side effects is reduced when Virtufen is stacked with other PCT drugs.

It is necessary to follow the exact dosing schedule in order to obtain best results. In individuals who do not respond to the treatment, Virtufen can also be used in combination with insulin-sensitizing agents to improve the efficacy.
