CLOMIPHENE 100 MG

Description

Clomiphene 100 mg is a medication commonly used in the treatment of infertility in women. It belongs to a class of drugs known as selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs). Clomiphene citrate, the active ingredient in Clomiphene, works by stimulating the release of hormones necessary for ovulation.

The 100 mg dosage of Clomiphene is typically prescribed for women who have not ovulated or have irregular ovulation cycles, a condition known as anovulation. It may also be used in women with unexplained infertility or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

Clomiphene works by blocking the effects of estrogen in the body, which in turn stimulates the release of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) from the pituitary gland. These hormones are essential for the development and release of mature eggs from the ovaries during the menstrual cycle.

Clomiphene is usually taken orally once daily for five days, starting on the fifth day of the menstrual cycle. Ovulation typically occurs within 5-10 days after the last dose of Clomiphene. If ovulation does not occur after the initial course of treatment, the dosage may be increased in subsequent cycles or other fertility treatments may be considered.

Common side effects of Clomiphene may include hot flashes, mood swings, breast tenderness, bloating, abdominal discomfort, and nausea. In rare cases, Clomiphene may cause more serious side effects such as ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), vision changes, or multiple pregnancies.

It’s essential to discuss the risks and benefits of Clomiphene treatment with your healthcare provider, as well as any concerns or medical conditions you may have. Your doctor will monitor your response to treatment closely and may adjust your dosage or recommend alternative treatments as needed.
