Tamoxifen Citrate vs Tamoxifen

[jamiem]

is there a difference between these two? If so, what are the dosage differences.

I have 20mg tabs of Tamoxifen. I am getting close to starting my pct for a 3 week SD cycle. My cycle is 10/20/20. With what you said above and with what I said I had, what should my Tamoxifen daily dosages be per week?

Tamox should be 40/20/10 IMO. Some would say stretch to 4 weeks at 40/20/20/10 but that is your choice.
Citrate is, I believe, 1.5 times LESS strong as tamox. Corrections?

[jamiem]

is it ok to spilt a tab in half?

[fadi]

just take the tab, no need to split it.

[jamiem]

but isn't it best to taper down somewhat to what Sean suggested? If so and all I have is 20mg tabs, then I would need to split them correct?

In this case Fadi, would you just do 60/40/20 or 40/20/20 ??

Yes because of the citrate there is less Tamoxifen per mg.

There is no straight tamox. it is all tamox citrate... the difference comes in between pharma grade and research nolva. pharma grade takes the citrate molecule in account - while research nolva does not - in this case, it seems that pharma grade is being used.

And that is why I am a fan of RRAdam..

[jamiem]

so is 40/20/10 or 40/20/20 good enough you think?
