Mechanism of Action
Fertomid 25 works through its active component, clomiphene citrate. Oestrogen receptors within the hypothalamus, a brain region controlling hormone release, are bound to by clomiphene citrate. Oestrogen signals are blocked as a result, prompting the pituitary gland to release follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinising hormone (LH). These hormones stimulate ovarian follicles to produce mature eggs.
Clinical Uses
- Ovulatory dysfunction in women attempting pregnancy.
- Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) (a hormonal condition causing enlarged ovaries with small cysts).
- Secondary amenorrhoea (absence of menstrual periods).
