Clomid (clomiphene citrate), while primarily known for female fertility treatments, can also be used off-label by men to improve sperm count and testosterone levels, especially in cases of low testosterone or low sperm count. Book an appointment with one of our Naturopathic doctors to see if you (or your partner/husband) are a candidate for Clomid.

How Clomid Works for Men

Hormonal Stimulation
Clomid works by increasing the levels of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) in the body.

Testosterone Production
LH stimulates the testes to produce more testosterone, while FSH supports sperm production (spermatogenesis).

Improved Sperm Parameters
By increasing testosterone and supporting sperm production, Clomid can potentially improve sperm count, motility (movement), and concentration.

Off-Label Use:
While FDA-approved for female infertility, doctors and naturopaths can prescribe Clomid for men off-label to address male infertility issues.

Benefits of Clomid for Men

Increased Sperm Count
Clomid can help increase sperm count, which is beneficial for men with low sperm count (oligozoospermia).

Improved Sperm Quality
It can also improve sperm motility and concentration, leading to better overall sperm quality.

Testosterone Boost
Clomid can help increase testosterone levels, which can improve libido, energy levels, and overall well-being.

Potential for Conception
By improving sperm parameters and testosterone levels, Clomid can increase the chances of natural conception.

Important Considerations

Not a Guaranteed Solution
Clomid may not be effective for all men, and the results can vary.

Time to See Results
It can take several months for Clomid to have an effect on sperm production, as sperm takes time to develop.

Long-Term Use
Clomiphene citrate is considered safe for long-term use (up to 3 years) in the appropriate patient.
