Clomiphene Citrate
Clomiphene citrate, also known by its brand names Clomid or Serophene, is a medication commonly used to treat infertility in women. It belongs to a class of drugs called selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs).
Clomiphene citrate works by stimulating the release of hormones necessary for ovulation to occur. It acts on the hypothalamus, a part of the brain that regulates the production of hormones involved in the menstrual cycle. By blocking the estrogen receptors in the hypothalamus, it tricks the body into thinking that estrogen levels are low. This leads to an increase in the production of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH), which are essential for the growth and release of mature eggs from the ovaries.
