Clomid is a fertility medicine used to cause ovulation in women who are unable to conceive a child due to medical conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome.
How does it work
Clomid triggers the release of certain hormones from the pituitary gland that stimulates ovulation.
Taking Clomid & the right dosage
Clomid may be taken with or without a meal.
Storage
Store Clomid in a cool and dark place at room temperature. Do not store it in a place where it can get exposed to direct sunlight or moisture.
Keep it away from children and pets.
