Abstract

Clomiphene citrate 100 mg daily was used to treat 28 boys with pubertal gynaecomastia. 6 failed to complete the course and of the remaining 14 (64%) responded within 6 months of commencement of therapy. LH, FSH, testosterone and estradiol levels rose during therapy. It is suggested that clomiphene affects gynaecomastia locally as an anti-estrogen.
