Patient summary
Developed to target ovulation cycles in women experiencing infertility, indicated to support fertility by stimulating hormonal pathways.
Mechanism of action
Clomiphene is a non-steroidal fertility agent. By binding to oestrogen receptors, it blocks the negative feedback of endogenous oestrogen on the hypothalamus. This triggers an increased release of gonadotropins (FSH and LH), resulting in follicular development and ovulation.
