What is Clomid?

Clomid is a fertility medication that is used to induce ovulation. Known as clomiphene citrate, the drug is sold under the brand names Clomid and Serophene, and is available throughout the United Kingdom. Specifically, Clomid works to stimulate a woman’s ovaries to mature an increased number of follicles every month. Because Clomid increases the number of mature follicles in the ovaries, the drug also increases the likelihood of ovulation and pregnancy. Use caution when driving, operating machinery, or performing other hazardous activities. Clomid may cause blurred vision or other visual side effects during or shortly after.
How To Take Clomid?
When used for ovulation induction, Clomid is taken orally for approximately five days early in the menstrual cycle. Depending upon your clinic protocol this may start as early as day 3 or as late as day 5. It is important to remember that the first day of the menstrual cycle is the first day of normal bleeding, not spotting.Most women begin with an initial dose of one tablet (50 mg.) per day.
Clomid Side Effects
Side effects, that may go away during treatment, include hot flashes, nausea, vomiting, breast tenderness, dizziness, lightheadedness, headache, or mood changes. If they continue or are bothersome, check with your doctor. Check with your doctor as soon as possible if you experience stomach or pelvic pain, bloating, or blurred vision.
