A fertility-sparing option for low testosterone, prescribed and monitored at home anywhere in Brooklyn by a New York-licensed provider.
Enclomiphene is part of an older fertility medicine called clomiphene. It signals the brain to send more of the hormones that tell the testes to make testosterone. It is not FDA-approved and is prepared by compounding pharmacies.
Men with low testosterone who want to protect their fertility. Unlike testosterone therapy, it usually keeps sperm production going.
Your provider confirms low testosterone with morning labs, explains the risks of an unapproved medicine and checks your levels and blood counts during treatment.
No waiting room and no running into someone you know.
Every visit is led by a licensed provider, not a call center.
Your visit happens on your schedule, in your space.
Two early-morning blood tests and a symptom review come first. Your provider also checks LH and FSH, the signals your brain sends to the testes.
Enclomiphene works only if your testes can respond to those signals. It is mainly considered for men who want to keep their fertility.
Enclomiphene is a daily pill. Labs are rechecked after a few weeks to see how your testosterone and estrogen respond.
Your provider tracks symptoms and labs over time and adjusts or stops the medicine if it is not working well.
Enclomiphene is not FDA-approved. It is a part of clomiphene, an approved fertility drug, and some licensed pharmacies prepare it. Quality depends on the pharmacy.
Headache, hot flashes, mood changes and nausea are possible. Stop and call your provider right away for blurred vision, spots or flashes of light.
Medicines in this family may raise the risk of blood clots. Tell your provider about any history of clots, liver disease or vision problems.
If children are in your plans, enclomiphene may protect sperm production in a way testosterone therapy does not. Your provider can also refer you to a fertility specialist.
Testosterone, LH, FSH and estradiol can be drawn at home in the morning and sent to a lab with a New York State permit.

Headache, hot flashes, mood changes and nausea are possible. Stop and call your provider right away if you notice vision changes.
