Effects of Tamox (Tamoxifen Citrate) 20mg Tablets
For Breast Cancer
Tamoxifen Citrate Tablets 20mg relieves symptoms of breast cancer, such as breast lumps, bloody nipple discharge, and changes in breast shape and texture. It works by altering the production of hormones essential for breast cancer growth and spread in pre- and postmenopausal women. It may also interact with other hormones or act directly on cancer cells to inhibit their growth.
Tamoxifen Citrate 20mg Tablets in Post-Cycle Therapy (PCT)
Tamoxifen citrate (commonly known as Nolvadex) is one of the most commonly used medications in post-cycle therapy (PCT) for anabolic steroid users. It belongs to a class of drugs known as selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs) and plays a crucial role in restoring the body’s natural hormonal balance after a steroid cycle.
Why is important in Tamox PCT?
Anabolic steroids can suppress natural testosterone production. Once a cycle ends, hormone levels can drop significantly, resulting in:
- Low energy and mood swings
- Decreased libido
- Loss of muscle mass
- Shrinkage of testicular volume
- Imbalanced estrogen levels
- Risk of gynecomastia (growth of male breast tissue)
Tamoxifen helps reverse these effects by blocking estrogen receptors in certain tissues and indirectly stimulating testosterone production.
How Tamoxifen Citrate 20 mg Works?
✔ Blocks estrogen receptors in breast tissue → Prevents and reduces gynecomastia
✔ Signals the hypothalamus and pituitary gland to increase natural testosterone production
✔ Helps restore hormonal balance more quickly after a steroid cycle
✔ Promotes muscle retention by reducing estrogenic side effects
Due to these effects, tamoxifen is considered an essential medication for post-cycle therapy (PCT) and is often used alone or in combination with clomiphene citrate (Clomid).

How to take Tamox 20mg (Tamoxifen Citrate) Tablets?
Take this medication exactly as directed and for the duration prescribed by your doctor. Swallow whole. Do not chew, crush, or break it. Tamoxifen citrate 20mg tablets can be taken with or without food, but it is recommended to take them at a fixed time.
How do Tamox 20mg (Tamoxifen Citrate) tablets work?
Tamoxifen citrate 20mg tablets (Nolvadex) are selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs). Some breast cancers require hormones, such as estrogen, to grow. This type of breast cancer is called hormone receptor-positive (HR-positive) breast cancer.
Tamoxifen (Nolvadex) treats hormone receptor-positive (HR-positive) breast cancer by blocking the action of estrogen on tumor tissue. In this way, Tamoxifen (Nolvadex) prevents cancer cells from obtaining the energy they need to grow, preventing cancer metastasis.

FAQ’S
After a steroid cycle, the body’s natural testosterone production is inhibited. Tamoxifen works by:
- Increasing LH and FSH levels (hormones necessary for testosterone production)
- Blocking estrogen receptors
- Preventing gynecomastia
- Helping stabilize mood, libido, and energy
This makes it one of the most important medications in PCT.
Yes. hCG is often used before tamoxifen in cases of severe hormonal suppression.
Example Protocol:
- HCG: last 2 weeks of the cycle or immediately after
- Then Tamoxifen: full PCT begins after hCG administration
This approach more effectively mimics natural hormonal restoration.
Sample cycle (for informational purposes):
- Weeks 1 and 2: 40 mg daily
- Weeks 3 and 4: 20 mg daily
Some more potent steroid cycles may require an extended PCT of 6 weeks, depending on the level of hormone suppression.
Start treatment based on the last steroid used:
- Testenatosine enanthate/Cypionate/Sustanon: 2 to 3 weeks after the last injection
- Testenatopropionate: 3 to 5 days after the last dose
- Oral steroids (Dianabol, Anavar, Winstrol): 1 to 2 days after the last dose
Starting too early or too late can reduce its effectiveness.
Yes. Many users combine these two SERMs for a more powerful PCT effect.
A common combination:
- Clomid + Tamoxifen for 4-6 weeks
- Promotes a more rapid increase in testosterone
- Allows for a more complete hormonal recovery
However, tamoxifen alone is usually sufficient for mild to moderate suppression.
Yes. Tamoxifen directly blocks estrogen receptors in breast tissue and is often used to:
- Reduce the symptoms of gynecomastia in its early stages
- Prevent flare-ups during or after periods
- Treat estrogen sensitivity
It does not remove existing glandular tissue, but it can reduce inflammation and pain.
Indirectly, yes. By restoring natural testosterone levels, tamoxifen helps maintain:
- Muscle hardness
- Strength
- Recovery
- Libido
- Energy
Without proper post-cycle therapy (PCT), much of the muscle mass gained during a steroid cycle can be lost.
Yes, tamoxifen is considered one of the safest and most reliable PCT options for beginners.
It restores hormones without causing the extreme mood swings that Clomid can sometimes cause.
Some users take a low dose to control estrogen-related symptoms during their cycle, especially if they are prone to gynecomastia.
However, mid-cycle use may slightly impact muscle gain, as estrogen also promotes muscle growth.
Women do not need PCT.
Tamoxifen is sometimes used medically for other reasons, but it is not recommended for women using steroids unless prescribed by a doctor.
Skipping PCT can lead to:
- Decreased testosterone levels
- Loss of muscle mass and strength
- Mood swings or depression
- Decreased libido
- Testicular atrophy
- Symptoms related to excess estrogen (gynecomastia, water retention)
Tamoxifen helps prevent these problems.
