Clomiphene Citrate for Men

Meaning

The off-label clinical use of the selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM), Clomiphene Citrate, in men to treat secondary hypogonadism by stimulating endogenous testosterone production. This pharmacological strategy offers an alternative to exogenous testosterone replacement therapy, particularly when preserving fertility is a priority for the patient. It works by optimizing the central regulatory axis of the endocrine system, thereby increasing luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) secretion. Careful patient selection and biochemical monitoring are essential for successful and safe application.
