    I don't think it works that way, have you had a culture taken?

    Causes
    The cause of strep throat is bacteria known as Streptococcus pyogenes, or group A beta-hemolytic streptococcus.

    Streptococcal bacteria are highly contagious. They can spread through airborne droplets when someone with the infection coughs or sneezes. You can also pick up the bacteria from a doorknob or other surface and transfer them to your nose or mouth. Kitchen utensils and bathroom objects are other common sources of infection transmission.

    your immune system could have been weaken by the cycle you were on, and when you came off, you became susceptible to illness and infection.....this would be a more likely reason than you took nolvadex and got strep.....

    strep throat is caused by streptococcus bacteria which usually hangs out in the nose and throat so to make a long story short, nolva didnt cause your strep. actually how do you know its strep? did you go to your dr?

    If you're using Lion's nolva, maybe someone with strep sneezed into your nolva as they were making it, lol.

    Otherwise, no. Strep is caused by getting infected with bacteria. And it usually takes a while to incubate as it grows so you must have caught it at least a day or 2 before you started the nolva.
