Clomiphene and enclomiphene · Approved for one thing, prescribed for another

Oestrogen-receptor modulators used off-label in men — with one approved and one not.

Revisado médicamente por Bernard Garcia, MD

Qué es

Clomiphene is FDA-approved for ovulatory dysfunction in women. In men it is prescribed off-label to raise testosterone by stimulating the body's own production, preserving fertility. Enclomiphene, the more active isomer, is not FDA-approved (a 2015 application was not granted) and is available only compounded.

Cómo funciona

Both block oestrogen feedback at the hypothalamus, increasing LH and FSH and therefore testosterone. Evidence in men consists of smaller studies; long-term data are limited.
