What is Clomid?
Clomid – also known as clomiphene citrate – is a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM). Clomid is a mixture of two isomers: zuclomiphene and enclomiphene. This class of drugs interacts with estrogen receptors in both the female and male body.
Clomid is commonly used to treat infertility in women. However, it can also be prescribed off-label to men with hypogonadism and certain fertility issues.
How Does Clomid Work for Men?
Clomid works by blocking estrogen receptors in the brain so that the body produces more follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH). These hormones stimulate the testicles to produce more testosterone and improve sperm production.
In men, Clomid can help to increase sperm count, improve sperm motility, and boost testosterone levels. These improvements in men’s health can lead to improved fertility, enhanced sexual health, increased muscle mass and strength, elevated mood and energy levels, and reduced risk of osteoporosis in men.
What’s the Recommended Dose of Clomid?
The starting dose of Clomid for men is typically a 50 mg tablet every other day or a 25 mg tablet every day, to be taken
Some might find it easier on their stomachs to take Clomid with a meal. Doing this can help reduce any discomfort you might feel in your stomach after taking the medication.
But regardless of whether you take it with food or not, the most important thing is to follow your doctor's instructions by sticking to the dosage and schedule they prescribe to avoid side effects and get the best possible results of Clomid.
How Do You Know If Clomid is Working?
Monitoring changes in hormonal levels and symptoms that help you determine if Clomid is an effective treatment option for you. Some signs indicating that Clomid is working may include:
Increased energy levels
Less mood swings
How Long Should You Take Clomid for Low Testosterone?
Due to the time required for sperm production and the ejaculation process, Clomid may take several months (typically three to four) to show effects. Longer durations of treatment may also be necessary, as individual responses can vary.
