Clomiphene (also spelled clomifene) is a nonsteroidal ovulatory stimulant predominantly used to treat certain types of infertility in women. Less commonly it is used in other conditions, such as inhibiting production of breast milk or treating hypogonadism in men.

More commonly known by the brand name Clomid, it is one of the most widely-prescribed fertility drugs in the world, with a success rate of 30 to 60 percent. Many women buy clomiphene over similar treatments because of its ease of use and because side effects are rare, usually mild, and usually completely reversible when treatment stops.

A Solution to Impaired Ovulation

The medication induces ovulation, the release of mature eggs into the fallopian tubes where they may become fertilized. It accomplishes this by blocking estrogen receptors in the body, which prompts the release of hormones that induce ovulation. It may be used on its own or along with other fertility-enhancing treatments, supplements or methods.

Unlike many fertility treatments, clomiphene comes in a tablet which can easily be taken at home:

• Doses usually range from 50 to 100 mg, best determined by a doctor.
• Tablets should be taken for 5 consecutive days, usually starting on the 3rd day of the menstrual cycle.
• Other medications may be given to induce menstruation if periods are irregular.
• Tablets should be taken at the same time each day to maintain consistent levels of the drug in the body.
• Tablets may be taken with or without food; food may help ease any stomach upset if experienced.
• Ovulation typically occurs about a week after the last tablet is taken.
• Monitoring ovulation with records, tests and ultrasounds may help determine the medication's effectiveness.

It is only possible to buy clomiphene in 50 mg tablets; taking larger doses requires taking two tablets. Both tablets should be taken at the same time.

Treatment may be repeated up to 6 times consecutively; that is, 6 monthly cycles. Doctor exams during this period will help determine if treatment is working. If pregnancy is not achieved by the 6th month, alternative methods may be worth exploring rather than continuing to buy clomiphene.

Women who do become pregnant while using clomiphene are more likely than average to have twins or triplets, though still rare.

Clomiphene Side Effects

As previously mentioned, side effects are rare, usually very mild, and disappear entirely when treatment ends:

• Hot flashes
• Tender breasts
• Headache
• Irritability
• Nausea
• Drowsiness
• Difficulty sleeping

Rarely some women react a little too well to treatment; ovaries may become hyperactive, swell, and leak fluid into the abdominal cavity. This is a potentially life-threatening condition which calls for immediate cessation of treatment and medical attention. Fortunately it produces warning symptoms which are difficult to ignore:

• Swollen, bloated stomach or abdomen
• Painful or very tender abdomen
• Difficulty breathing
• Very rapid heart beat
• Extreme nausea or excessive vomiting

With prompt medical attention symptoms can be managed until the medication leaves the system.

Another rare side effect is vision disturbances; blurred vision, double vision, or seeing spots or flashes. Again treatment should be stopped until a doctor is consulted.

The medication should not be used while breast-feeding, as it may inhibit milk production. Treatment should also stop immediately if pregnancy is achieved.
