Question 1

what're the common side effects of men taking clomiphene citrate (clomid) 50 mg?

Accepted Answer

None for most men: Clomiphene citrate is an estrogen antagonist. For women who are estrogen dominant, this can cause multiple side effects as the Clomiphene shifts the estrogen to androgen (male hormone) balance away from the estrogen.
