Clomiphene Citrate is a medication commonly used to treat infertility in women. It works by stimulating the ovaries to produce eggs, which can help women who have irregular ovulation or are not ovulating at all. The drug is typically taken in pill form for a specific number of days during the menstrual cycle.
This medication is often prescribed for women with conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). While it can be effective, it may also have side effects, including hot flashes, mood swings, and abdominal discomfort. Regular monitoring by a healthcare provider is essential during treatment.
