question from a user
Do you offer enclomiphene? When should it be considered vs traditional TRT?
AlphaMD's Answer
We do offer enclomiphene. Like all SERMs, its effectiveness varies. Due to the way it functions (ramps up pituitary output of FSH and LH), enclomiphene does not work in primary hypogonadism. Pushing harder on the accelerator (pituitary —> LH) won’t make a broken engine (testes —> testosterone) start working again.So basically we would recommend enclomiphene over TRT in any man with secondary hypogonadism who desires to maintain fertility.
