Clomiphene Citrate, commonly known under trade names such as Clomid, Fertomid, and Clomi-Hexal, is a widely prescribed oral medication used in fertility treatments and hormonal regulation.

• Chemical Name: Clomiphene Citrate
• Dosage Form: Oral Tablets

How It Works

Clomiphene Citrate functions by blocking estrogen receptors in the hypothalamus. This action stimulates the release of:

• Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH)
• Luteinizing Hormone (LH)

These hormones promote ovulation in women by supporting the development and release of egg follicles. In men, it may help stimulate natural testosterone production by enhancing hormonal signaling.

Medical Uses

• Treatment of female infertility
• Induction of ovulation in anovulatory cycles
• Management of irregular menstrual cycles
• Support in certain cases of male infertility
• Hormonal regulation therapies

Use in Hormonal Recovery (PCT Context)

Clomiphene Citrate is sometimes used to help restore natural testosterone levels after hormonal suppression. By increasing LH and FSH levels, it can support endogenous hormone production when levels are low.

Dosage Guidelines

• Women (Fertility Use): Typically 50mg daily for 5 days (as prescribed)
• Hormonal Recovery Use: Often ranges around 100mg daily for a short initial period (5–10 days), followed by adjustment based on response
