Enclomiphene is a non-steroidal estrogen receptor antagonist that promotes gonadotropin-dependent testosterone secretion by the testes.
Enclomiphene is a non-steroidal estrogen receptor antagonist that promotes gonadotropin-dependent testosterone secretion by the testes. Enclomiphene is the trans-isomer of clomiphene, which is about a 60-40 mix of trans (Enclomiphene) and cis (Zuclomiphene). While enclomiphene (trans-clomiphene) is an estrogen antagonist, zuclomiphene (cis-clomiphene) is a mixed agonist, responsible for the estrogenic activity and therefore the common side effects sometimes seen in males. The enclomiphene isomer is responsible for the anti-estrogen activity and the restoration of ones hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal axis. In recent clinical trials, enclomiphene increased serum LH and FSH with concomitant increases in testosterone in men with secondary hypogonadism. Enclomiphene showed overall better results than testosterone gels, which raise serum testosterone but can lower LH and FSH at the same time.

Clomiphene citrate (CC) is a selective estrogen-receptor modulator that is primarily used to enhance follicular development in women receiving in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment. Although some studies suggested large increases in ovarian cancer risk related to fertility medications, this association
