Clomid is a popular brand name and nickname for generic clomiphene citrate. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved this oral fertility medication for use in women who are unable to become pregnant. It affects the hormone balance within the body and promotes ovulation. The FDA approved Clomid only for use in women.
It’s not approved by the FDA for use in males, but it’s often prescribed off-label for treatment of male infertility. Taking Clomid can lead to an increase in testosterone and sperm count. Studies on its efficacy in males have had mixed results.
Limitations include: Another recent review suggested that the most likely population to benefit from Clomid treatment is males with both unexplained infertility and normal to below-average sperm motility and shape.
A recent review recommends a starting dosage of 25 mg three days per week and then slowly titrating — or adjusting the dosage — until the dose is 50 mg per day as needed. High doses of Clomid can actually have a negative effect on sperm count and motility.
