Active ingredient: Clomiphene

Brand Name: Clomid, Serophene

Drug class: Antioestrogen

Mechanism of Action:

Clomiphene works as a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM), primarily used to induce ovulation in women experiencing infertility. It binds to estrogen receptors in the hypothalamus, blocking negative feedback from estrogen, which increases the release of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH). This triggers a rise in follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH), stimulating ovarian follicle development and ovulation.

Effect on fertility biomarkers

Clomiphene enhances fertility by promoting ovulation, but it may also reduce cervical mucus quality and thin the endometrium, potentially affecting conception chances.
