Clomifene, commonly known as Clomid in the UK, is a medication primarily used to induce ovulation in women who have trouble conceiving due to irregular or absent menstrual cycles. Available in 50mg and 100mg tablet forms, the typical dose for fertility treatment starts at 50mg daily, often increased to 100mg if necessary under medical supervision. Clomid works by blocking estrogen receptors in the brain, leading to an increase in follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH), which stimulate ovulation. Its crucial for users to consult healthcare providers before starting treatment due to potential side effects and monitoring needs during use.
