Enclomiphene for hypogonadism: What you need to know

‍

Having low testosterone levels in men can come along with symptoms including: reduced libido, depressed mood, difficulty concentrating, increased body fat, and decreased muscle mass.

‍

Since some of these symptoms can end up making you feel pretty lousy, it makes sense that you would want to know just how quickly this treatment can increase your testosterone levels.

‍

Below, we will review approximately how long after starting enclomiphene treatment your testosterone levels will likely increase, and how quickly they will decrease again if this medication is stopped.

Enclomiphene for hypogonadism: What you need to know

‍

We have a few studies done in men with low testosterone taking a daily dose of enclomiphene where they periodically measured changes in total testosterone levels. These studies, while many are small, can give us a general estimate of what may happen to testosterone levels in men using this medication.

‍

In one study, participants with baseline low testosterone levels were given either 6.25mg of enclomiphene, 12.5mg of enclomiphene, 25mg of enclomiphene, or the general dose of transdermal testosterone replacements once daily.‍‍

‍

Another study examined changes in total testosterone levels after 2 weeks of treatment with oral enclomiphene. The study noted that by week 4, levels appeared to stabilize that held throughout the whole rest of the study (112 days). This suggests that by 4 weeks of treatment with oral enclomiphene, you may get to the approximate highest steady-state levels for that dose for you.

‍

How long after stopping enclomiphene do testosterone levels decline again?

‍

One of the same studies mentioned above decided to add in a final total testosterone measurement, after 1 week of being off of all enclomiphene or topical testosterone replacement treatments.

‍

This study examined testosterone levels 7 days after stopping treatment. The enclomiphene groups showed changes in testosterone levels compared to baseline. However, the topical testosterone group had much further declined testosterone levels, and these levels were even lower than the baseline total testosterone levels at the start of the trial. (See graph below)

‍

‍

While this shows what levels may look like after stopping enclomiphene treatment for 7 days, we don’t know how much further levels might decline (or hold up) for longer periods of time off of this medication, and more studies need to be done to know for sure.
