Clomiphene and enclomiphene · Approved for one thing, prescribed for another
Oestrogen-receptor modulators used off-label in men — with one approved and one not.
O que é
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.
Como 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.

É legal?
Clomiphene is FDA-approved for female infertility; use in men is off-label. Enclomiphene is not FDA-approved and its compounding has faced regulatory scrutiny. This is a general note, not legal advice.
