Taking Enclomiphene long-term requires careful consideration of potential benefits and risks. Enclomiphene is a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) primarily used to treat male hypogonadism by stimulating natural testosterone production. Its long-term use may help maintain higher testosterone levels without the need for exogenous testosterone, which can suppress natural production and sperm count. However, long-term use of enclomiphene can lead to some side effects. Common side effects include gastrointestinal issues, mood changes, skin reactions, and a potential increase in the risk of blood clots (Alpha MD) (Concierge MD - Mobile Medical Services).

For those using enclomiphene as part of post-cycle therapy (PCT) after anabolic steroid use, it's important to note that extended use may potentially lead to hypogonadism or suppression of natural testosterone production if not properly managed.

Users are generally advised to use enclomiphene under medical supervision, with
In summary, while enclomiphene can be used long-term, it should be done with careful medical oversight to mitigate risks and ensure that the benefits outweigh potential side effects.
