Taking steroids can lead to the suppression of the natural synthesis of hormones. Once the cycle of the drugs is completed, there is a drop in the level of testosterone. For this, Post Cycle Treatment is necessary, which helps to get back the natural synthesis of hormones. If it’s not used, it can take months before the normal production of hormones. PCT is commonly known as Unblock odblok.
List of the drugs used in unblocking
- Clomid
Clomid is generally prescribed for ovulation problems in women and is also used for PCT. How does it help in unblocking? Consumption of Clomid leads to the production of FSH and LH hormones. It helps hormones help to increase the levels of testosterone. It also works as an anti-estrogen which helps to avoid the conditions like gynecomastia.
It is consumed after two weeks of the steroid cycle. The effect of Clomid depends on the strength of the steroids used.
- Tamoxifen( Nolvadex)
Tamoxifen helps to reduce the production of estrogen. They bind with the estrogen receptors lessening the effect of estrogen. It is used for PCT. It is often paired with Clomid for therapy. It mainly helps with the condition of gynecomastia. Gynecomastia is a side effect of steroids that leads to the formation of breast tissues in males. With the help of Nolvadex, this can be avoided.
- Proviron
Proviron is a drug without any anabolic properties. Proviron helps to reduce the production of estrogen. When the cycle of steroids is stopped, there is a dip in testosterone levels. On the other hand, the body has a high level of estrogen. This can leads to water retention and gynecomastia. The purpose of steroids is well-built muscle mass. But when the usage is stopped, it can lead to a lowering of testosterone. This can lead to the accumulation of fat and loss of muscle mass.
