Fertomid Mechanism of Action – How Does Clomiphene Citrate Work?
Fertomid tablets (Generic Clomiphene Citrate tablets) belongs to a group of medications known as selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERM), which are synthetic ovulation stimulants. Clomiphene Citrate tablets activates the pituitary gland to release greater amounts of the gonadotropin hormones, FSH and LH in the blood. FSH and LH hormones control the growth and discharge of the developed egg from the fallopian tubes during the ovulation cycle. The treatment with Fertomid tablets should commence on the 5th day of the menstrual cycle in women who are undergoing treatment for ovulation induction.
Women can use Clomiphene Citrate tablets for approximately 5 -6 monthly cycles. The success rate of Clomiphene Citrate tablets in a particular patient can be ascertained within 6 treatment cycles. If pregnancy is not induced after treatment with Fertomid tablets for at least 6 cycles, Clomiphene Citrate may most probably not be the suitable medication for the medical condition of the patient.
The gonadotropin hormones FSH and LH also activates the male sex organ, testes, to synthesize and secrete increased levels of testosterone hormone.
This mechanism of action for higher levels of testosterone is beneficial for bodybuilders who take Fertomid tablets toward the end of a steroid cycle to lessen the adverse effects of steroid drugs. Generic Clomiphene Citrate mimics the characteristics of an anti-oestrogen by attaching to oestrogen receptors present on the surface of cells, thus inhibiting the interaction of oestrogen with the cell surface receptor. Through competitive inhibition, Fertomid tablets decreases the activity of estrogen and thus successfully reduces the undesirable effects of a steroid cycle such as gynecomastia and water retention.
