Description
Toremifene Citrate is essentially a non-steroidal anti-estrogen drug that is derived from triphenylethylene. Now while Torem has made a name for itself in bodybuilding circles over the years as a PCT drug, it was originally developed to help treat breast cancer in postmenopausal women, particularly in cases where the disease is on the verge of spreading or has already spread to other parts of the body.
