About this episode

On this episode, I discuss clomiphene pharmacology, adverse effects, clinical practice pearls, and drug interactions.

Clomiphene is a commonly used medication to help manage female infertility.

Clomiphene is oral and relatively inexpensive compared to other agents that are used for infertility management.

Clomiphene is a SERM so you can anticipate that some patients may report vasomotor symptoms like flushing and hot flashes.
