Clomifene Tablets

Clomifene is prescribed for women who are having difficulty getting pregnant due to irregular ovulation or don’t ovulate at all. It is usually tried first in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) who are not ovulating regularly each month.

Clomifene may be used in women with unexplained infertility who are ovulating irregularly or not at all. Women with damaged fallopian tubes or other anatomical issues would not benefit from Clomifene alone.

Clomifene is typically started on the 5th day of the menstrual cycle, where the 1st day is when menstrual bleeding begins. The recommended dosage is 50 mg taken orally once per day for 5 days. To help remember when to take Clomifene, it is best to take it at the same time each day. Ovulation typically occurs between 5-12 days after the final dose of Clomifene.

If the medication is ineffective, speak to a medical professional.

This prompts the release of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), which, in turn, stimulates the release of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH), essential for ovulation to occur.
