toremifene citrate the same as toremifene?

[CryingEmo]

I often see that Tamox Citrate needs to be dosed higher than Tamox. Is this the same with Torm?

 

[bitterplacebo]

Think so.

"FARESTON (toremifene citrate) Tablets for oral administration each contain 88.5 mg of toremifene citrate, which is equivalent to 60 mg toremifene."

So 120 mg's of Fareston is infact like really 90 mg of torm?


Ack, this means I've been doing 30 mg less than I thought I was.

No, Fareston contains 88.5 mg of toremifene citrate or 60 mg of toremifene - the conversion has already been done for you.

If you are taking a "research" version you might want to check if it contains 60 mg of toremifene (ie 88.5 mg of tor citrate) or toremifene citrate however.

Does the same conversion hold true for the liquid form of Toremifene Citrate also? If it does, then would it play out like the picture attached, if the goal is to ramp from 120mg down to 30mg?

Im not sure about the conversion btu I am sure that if you do 120mg days 1-3,90mg days 4-7,60mg wk 2-3 youll be back normal or even beyond.

I was planning on doing 120 for the first 7 days.

Is that overkill?
