Drugs appear to be quite a slippery slope for bodybuilders, taking a second drug to offset the unwanted side effects of the first drug. According to University of Glamorgan researchers, 22 percent of bodybuilders use Tamoxifen because steroid use causes breast growth. Tamoxifen has a few potentially serious life-threatening side-effects such as deep vein blood clotting and the increased risk for the development of new tumors.
Women breast cancer survivors often struggle over whether the benefit of taking Tamoxifen overweigh the risks. In the case of breast cancer prevention, most women go ahead and take the drug, but not without hesitation. That anyone would chose to take such a powerful drug without an absolute need is beyond logic and reason. My suggestion? Stop using steroids. Don't take the first drug -- won't need the second one.
