Mechanism of Action

Clomid works by blocking estrogen receptors in the hypothalamus. When the brain senses lower estrogen activity, it increases its release of GnRH, which in turn stimulates the pituitary gland to produce more FSH and LH. These hormones encourage ovarian follicle growth and help trigger ovulation.

Indications

This medication is used to treat women who have trouble ovulating, including those with PCOS or other hormone-related issues. It’s commonly prescribed for women trying to conceive and is considered a first treatment option for anovulatory infertility.

Contraindications

Clomid should not be used during pregnancy or in anyone with an allergy to clomiphene citrate. It’s also unsuitable for women with ovarian cysts unrelated to PCOS, significant liver disease, or uncontrolled thyroid problems.

Precautions

A full evaluation is recommended before starting therapy. Monitoring during treatment helps reduce risks such as ovarian hyperstimulation, multiple pregnancies, and other hormone-related side effects.

Drug Interactions

Clomiphene may interact with medications that affect hormone levels, such as hormone replacement therapies, birth control pills, and certain anticonvulsants. Patients should review all medications and supplements with their healthcare provider.
