Clomifene/Clomiphene 100mg Uses
Clomifene 100mg is prescribed to:
- Induce ovulation in women with anovulatory infertility (where ovulation does not occur regularly).

How Clomifene/Clomiphene 100mg Works
Clomifene works by stimulating the release of hormones necessary to induce ovulation. It blocks estrogen receptors in the brain, particularly in the hypothalamus. This blockage fools the body into perceiving low levels of estrogen, causing it to increase the production of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH). These hormones stimulate the ovaries to produce eggs, thereby promoting ovulation.
