Toremefine (Fareston - SERM) for low SHBG instead of AI?

[Elnico50]

Have found some information while browsing on this SERM. One of the negative side effects most commonly brought up is that it raises SHBG. However, for those that have low SHBG such as myself..... wondering if this could this be of benefit ?

Other benefits are listed as reversing/preventing gyno, lowering estrogen levels in general and enhanced libido.

Any thoughts on this?

Be mindful that toremifene carries a small, yet substantial, risk of a potentially fatal cardiac arrhythmia ("Torsades de Pointes"), especially in folks with QT segment prolongation on EKG. There is a blackbox warning for this reason. To be safe, get an EKG performed before considering this SERM.
