Enclomiphene Use

Meaning

The clinical application of enclomiphene citrate, a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM), primarily to stimulate endogenous testosterone production in males with secondary hypogonadism. Unlike its isomer, enclomiphene is the pharmacologically active component that selectively blocks estrogen receptors in the hypothalamus and pituitary gland. This targeted action avoids the negative feedback loop typically induced by estrogen, leading to an increase in luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) secretion.
