USP of Enclomiphene Citrate
Enclomiphene citrate exerts its effect on serum testosterone levels by elevating luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels, while preserving semen parameters. This dual action, enhancing testosterone in men and concurrently safeguarding fertility, underscores the potential utility of Enclomiphene Citrate as a therapeutic option for individuals for whom testosterone therapy is not a suitable choice.

Application of Enclomiphene Citrate
- Treatment of Secondary Hypogonadism: Used in men for the treatment of secondary hypogonadism, which is a condition characterized by low testosterone levels due to problems with the hypothalamus or the pituitary gland.
- Male Infertility: Helps in treating certain cases of male infertility, particularly those associated with low testosterone levels and poor semen parameters.
- Testosterone Boosting: Acts to increase testosterone levels in men, which can be beneficial for various health issues related to testosterone deficiency.
- Gynecomastia Management: May be used in the management of gynecomastia (enlarged breast tissue in men) by balancing estrogen and testosterone levels.
- Obesity-Related Hypogonadism: Can be effective in treating hypogonadism that is associated with obesity, helping to improve hormonal balance.
- Metabolic Syndrome: There is interest in its potential for improving symptoms of metabolic syndrome in men, as it can positively affect testosterone levels and overall hormonal balance.
