Enclomiphene

Meaning

Enclomiphene is a non-steroidal, selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) that is the pharmacologically active trans-isomer of clomiphene citrate, specifically utilized in men to treat secondary hypogonadism. Its clinical function is to restore the endogenous production of testosterone by selectively blocking estrogen receptors in the hypothalamus and pituitary gland. This action avoids the testicular atrophy and suppression of spermatogenesis often associated with exogenous testosterone administration.
