Post Cycle Therapy (PCT) is a combination of nonsteroidal drugs that are used in all sports after a steroid cycle to minimize possible side effects. PCT plays a very important role especially in cases where high dosages of steroids have been used in the cycle, as well as when the duration of intake was more than one month long.
The main objectives of applying Post Cycle Therapy:
- Rapid recovery of normal hormonal levels present before the start of the steroid cycle
- Preservation of results and gained muscle mass
- Elimination of a sudden rise in catabolic hormones (cortisol)
- Minimizing the “rollback” effect after the use of steroids
- Reduced struggle with possible atrophy of the testicles
- Prevent all possible additional side effects
