Brief Answer: Yes,Ubiphene increases sperm count. Detailed Answer: Hello Thanks for writing to XXXXXXX Ubiphene(clomiphene citrate)is used to treat infertility in both males and females. In males it increases sperm count. It is available in tablet forms.So,it is convenient to take. It is a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) that increases production of gonadotropins by inhibiting negative feedback on the hypothalamus. However,it is not approved by USA FDA (Food and Drug Administration).It is still under trial. Get well soon Hope i have answered your query. Further queries are most welcome.
