question from a user
When (or what circumstances) would you recommend clomid over testosterone?
AlphaMD's Answer
The most common case is when a patient insists on it because they've read about the medication and really want to take a pill instead of do an injection. The second most common instance is when a man is cycling off Testosterone for fertility reasons temporarily.
A lot of times PCPs who are not TRT specialists may advise Clomid since it is a bit more comfortable for them. For other TRT companies they tend to prescribe it in the name of profit, sometimes even while on HCG & Testosterone, which is just silly.
Clomid itself has far more health concerns and side effects than just normal Testosterone, so we do try to shy away from it unless truly needed.
Sometimes it can serve as a good gateway to test out if TRT will help someone before they commit to injections as well, which is alright in the short term and for that reason.
