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.

• 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

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.

• 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
