Clomiphene Citrate (Fertility)
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 conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Typically taken as a pill for five days early in the menstrual cycle, it encourages the release of hormones that promote egg development.
This medication is often prescribed after other fertility treatments have been tried. While Clomiphene Citrate is generally well-tolerated, it can have side effects such as hot flashes, mood swings, and abdominal discomfort. Regular monitoring by a healthcare provider is essential during treatment.
