Safety Summary:
Enclomiphene is generally considered safe, with most side effects being mild and temporary. Severe side effects are rare, and the risks are typically low when used as prescribed. If you experience persistent or severe side effects, such as mood swings or severe nausea, contact a healthcare provider.

Safety Summary:
TRT has a generally favorable safety profile but carries some risk of long-term side effects, especially with prolonged use. Most side effects are mild to moderate and can be managed, but monitoring is important. The risk of prostate or cardiovascular issues can increase over time with long-term use.

Threshold for Medical Attention:
Seek medical help if you experience chest pain, difficulty breathing, or signs of prostate enlargement, such as urinary issues.

Enclomiphene is ideal for individuals who want to stimulate their natural testosterone production without directly supplementing testosterone.

• Men aged 18-45 with low testosterone levels who prefer to maintain their body’s natural hormone production and preserve fertility.
• Individuals with mild to moderate testosterone deficiency without underlying health issues like prostate problems.
• Patients looking for a treatment with fewer long-term side effects and those who are not comfortable with synthetic testosterone.

TRT is best suited for individuals who need direct testosterone supplementation to address severe testosterone deficiency.

• Men aged 30-60 with clinically low testosterone levels who require immediate hormone replacement.
• Individuals with significant symptoms of low testosterone such as low libido, fatigue, or muscle loss.
• Patients with conditions like hypogonadism or those who have been diagnosed with age-related testosterone decline.
