Clomid Description
Clomid [Generic Clomiphene citrate] popularly called the "fertility drug", is the drug of choice in infertility for it helps women to achieve pregnancy by increasing their ovulation. Clomid is available in tablet formulations of 25mg and 50mg.Two of the reasons that lead to infertility in some women are: absence of periods, or an irregular menstrual cycle, which makes ovulating difficult for them. Clomiphene is a selective estrogen receptor modulator [SERM], which is believed to trigger a message to the brain that there is not enough estrogen present, that makes the gonadotropin-releasing hormone [GnRH] to make the pituitary produce and release more of luteinizing hormone [LH] and follicle-stimulating hormone [FSH]. LH helps in producing testosterone, while FSH stimulates the spermatogenic tissues in men and ovarian follicular development in women, which helps in releasing one or more mature eggs for conception.
General Clomid Uses
Women and men who have a problem in having children, are often recommended Clomid therapy to overcome this problem. Anovulation occurs in a woman when an egg is not released from the ovaries into the fallopian tubes on a regular, monthly basis. Some women suffer from a Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome [PCOS] in which there is a cessation of periods, menses are irregular or there is heavy bleeding due to the presence of ovarian cysts, all of which prevent women from conceiving. Women who have taken Clomid have been known to give birth to twins, and even triplets, due to increased ovulation.The leading cause of male infertility is low sperm count. Men's sperm begins deteriorating while they are only in their 20s', with the motility going down every year, increasing their chances of infertility. In men, Clomiphene citrate increases sperm count, and also enhances sperm motility [the ability of the sperm to swim across to an egg].
How to use Clomid 25mg or 50mg
Clomid is usually supposed to be taken on day 3, 4 or 5 of the woman's menstrual cycle for 5 days. The dose commonly prescribed is 50mg a day, which the doctor may increase to 100mg, or more, if required. Most women conceive within the first six months of taking Clomiphene; but if this does not happen, then the gynaecologist may consider other methods of treatment.In men, because of the long time required for sperm maturation [around 70 days], treatment with Clomid has to be taken for at least six months.
The medicine can be taken with water. Take the dose just as advised by your doctor.
