Clomifene/Clomiphene 25mg Uses
Clomifene 25mg is prescribed to:
- Stimulate ovulation in women with anovulatory infertility, where ovulation does not occur regularly.

How Clomifene/Clomiphene 25mg Works
Clomifene facilitates ovulation through its influence on hormonal pathways. It blocks estrogen receptors in the brain, specifically in the hypothalamus. This action leads the body to perceive low estrogen levels, prompting it to increase the production of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH). The elevated levels of these hormones stimulate the ovaries to produce eggs, thus promoting ovulation.
