Similar to medications like clomiphene (Clomid) and enclomiphene, toremifene citrate belongs to a class of drugs known as selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs). It is mainly used to treat advanced breast cancer in postmenopausal women, but it is also used off-label to increase testosterone in men and has been studied for its potential to decrease the risk of prostate cancer.
Like other SERMs, toremifene binds to hypothalamic estrogen receptors in the brain, which tricks the body into thinking that it’s not getting enough estrogen. As a result, the body amps up the production of the hormones luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) to stimulate the testes to make more testosterone and sperm.
The dosage of Fareston is 60 mg, once daily, orally. Treatment is generally continued until disease progression is observed.
