Clomid

At Aashakiran IVF, Clomid or Serophene is a commonly prescribed medication for women who are experiencing ovulatory problems. Clomid contains clomiphene citrate, which works by blocking estrogen receptors in the hypothalamus, a part of the brain that regulates the menstrual cycle. This results in increased levels of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH), which stimulate the ovaries to produce and release eggs.

Clomid is usually taken for five days at the beginning of the menstrual cycle. The dosage and duration of treatment may vary depending on the individual's response to the medication. Potential side effects of Clomid for women include an increased risk of multiple births, miscarriage, hot flashes, nausea, breast tenderness, headaches, blurred vision, mood swings, and ovarian cysts.

For men, Clomid is not FDA-approved for male infertility but may be prescribed off-label by doctors. It is usually given to men who have a low sperm count caused by low testosterone levels. Clomid works by stimulating the production of testosterone in the testes, which can improve sperm production. Potential side effects of Clomid for men include changes in libido, mood swings, increased aggression, male-patterned baldness, blurred vision, headaches, prostate gland enlargement, pectoral tenderness, and mild acne.

At Aashakiran IVF, Clomid is prescribed and monitored carefully by experienced fertility specialists to ensure safe and effective treatment for patients.
