Description
Clomiphene causes the pituitary gland to release more hormones that stimulate the ovaries. This induces ovulation so the woman can become pregnant. It’s usually tried first when a woman is not ovulating regularly on her own and can be a highly effective way of falling pregnant. Clomifene may be used in women with unexplained infertility who are ovulating irregularly or not at all. Women with damaged fallopian tubes or other anatomical issues would not benefit from Clomifene alone.
Directions
Before commencing Clomifene treatment, ensure that you carefully review the patient information leaflet which contains crucial information about the medication and an exhaustive list of potential side effects.
Adhere strictly to the prescribed dosage of clomifene tablets provided by your GP or pharmacist. The medication is to be taken in 5-day cycles, with one daily dose for 5 consecutive days each month. Generally, cycles commence around the second day of your menstrual period, although it is essential to follow the specific instructions given by your prescriber for the cycle start date.
- During the initial cycle, take one 50mg clomifene tablet daily for 5 days. If necessary, your prescriber may adjust the dosage to two tablets daily for subsequent cycles.
- Remember to swallow the tablet whole with water and aim to take it at the same time each day throughout the 5-day cycle to facilitate better adherence.
- In the event of a missed dose, consult your GP or pharmacist promptly as they may need to modify the prescription or dosage. Do not double up on doses to compensate for a missed one.
