کلومیفن سیترات CAS:50-41-9

Clomifene Citrate is a hormonal medication better known by its brand-name Clomid. This drug is most often used to treat infertility due to irregular ovulation or failure to ovulate. It can have other uses, such as producing greater ovulation for egg collection, to briefly regulate ovulatory cycle, and occasionally to raise sperm count levels in men. The drug is typically used for a short time only, and especially in cases where achieving pregnancy is the goal, use doesn’t exceed about six months. It’s generally thought that failure of clomiphene to achieve pregnancy by the six-month mark suggests the drug will not ever be effective.

Clomiphene citrate is used to treat infertility in women. It works by stimulating an increase in the amount of hormones that support the growth and release of a mature egg (ovulation). This medication is not recommended for women whose ovaries no longer make eggs properly (primary pituitary or ovarian failure).

Clomifene citrate blocks the effect of the hormone oestrogen in your body. This blocking effect tricks your body into bumping up levels of two other hormones that are essential forovulationThese two other hormones are:

Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)
And luteinising hormone (LH)

FSH causes the eggs in your ovaries to ripen, ready for release. LH triggers the release of one or more mature eggs from the ovaries. The egg or eggs then move down into one of your fallopian tubes.
