Short answer
Yes: a clinical evidence review groups enclomiphene citrate with clomiphene as a selective estrogen receptor modulator used for low testosterone in men.[1]
What the SERM trials found
A meta-analysis of randomised trials of clomiphene and enclomiphene found SERM therapy raised total testosterone, with no significant difference from testosterone gel.[2]
In men with obesity-related androgen deficiency, pooled enclomiphene studies showed a testosterone rise of 7.50 nmol/L.[3]
A drug profile describes its action as an antagonist at the estrogen receptor that drives gonadotropin-dependent testosterone secretion.[4]
