Medication and Food Supplements

Clomid as a fertility drug can facilitate you to tackle with infertility effectively. Clomid is a brand name for Clomiphene citrate (CC, Serophene). It is relatively inexpensive than other fertility drugs, as it is orally consumed rather than by injection. It is one of the selective estrogen receptor modulators that acts as an anti-estrogen and tricks the pituitary gland into producing more FSH and LH, which, in turn, stimulates the ovary into producing more eggs and follicles. Thus, increases the stimulation of the ovary to begin to produce a mature egg.
