Clomid
Clomid (clomiphene citrate) is a medication commonly prescribed to treat infertility in women. It belongs to the selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) class of drugs. Clomid works by stimulating ovulation in women who have irregular or absent menstrual cycles due to conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or other ovulatory disorders. It is often one of the first treatments used for unexplained infertility.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take for Clomid to work?
Most women ovulate 5-10 days after finishing their Clomid cycle. If ovulation does not occur, your doctor may adjust the dosage.
Can Clomid increase my chances of having twins?
Yes, Clomid increases the likelihood of multiple pregnancies, with about a 5-10% chance of twins and a lower risk of triplets.
How many cycles of Clomid can I take?
Most doctors recommend a maximum of 6 cycles to avoid long-term side effects and ovarian risks.
What should I do if I miss a dose of Clomid?
If you miss a dose, contact your doctor. Do not double the next dose unless instructed by your healthcare provider.
Can men take Clomid for infertility?
Yes, Clomid may be prescribed off-label for men to increase testosterone levels and improve sperm count in cases of hormonal imbalances.
Comprehensive Drug Guide
How Does Clomid Work?
Clomid works by binding to estrogen receptors in the hypothalamus, blocking the brain's perception of estrogen levels. This prompts the pituitary gland to release more follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH), which stimulate the ovaries to produce and release eggs. This process helps induce ovulation in women with certain types of infertility.
Common Dosages
- Oral tablets: 50 mg
Typical Dosing
- For ovulation induction: The typical starting dose is 50 mg once daily for 5 days, usually beginning on the 3rd, 4th, or 5th day of the menstrual cycle. If ovulation does not occur, the dose may be increased to 100 mg in subsequent cycles.
- Maximum dose: Treatment should not exceed six cycles or a dose higher than 150 mg daily
Typical Dosing
FDA Approved Indications
- Ovulatory dysfunction in women trying to conceive
- Anovulation (failure to ovulate)
- Luteal phase defects
Who Shouldn't Take Clomid?

Advice From The Pharmacist
- Take Clomid exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider, starting on the specified day of your cycle.
- Monitor ovulation: Your doctor may recommend tracking ovulation using basal body temperature, ovulation predictor kits, or ultrasound.
- Be aware of potential side effects like mood swings, hot flashes, or mild abdominal discomfort.
- Avoid alcohol and stay hydrated to minimize side effects.
- Let your doctor know if you experience severe abdominal pain, which could indicate ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS).
