Promifen Mechanism of Action – How Does Clomiphene Citrate Work?
Clomiphene Citrate (Generic Clomid tablets) belongs to a group of medication known as selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERM). Clomiphene Citrate tablets stimulate the pituitary gland to increase the blood levels of the gonadotropin hormones, FSH and LH. FSH and LH hormones regulate the development and release of the mature egg from the fallopian tubes during the ovulation cycle.
The treatment with Clomiphene Citrate is usually started on the 5th day of the menstrual cycle in women who are treated for ovulation induction. Clomiphene Citrate tablets can be administered for about 5 -6 monthly cycles. The success rate of Clomiphene Citrate 50 mg tablets in a particular patient can be determined in 6 treatment cycles. If the patient does not become pregnant after 6 cycles, Clomiphene Citrate may most likely not work for the medical issue.
FSH and LH also stimulates the testes in men to produce and secrete higher levels of testosterone. This is mainly true for bodybuilders who use Clomiphene Citrate tablets toward the end of a steroid cycle to minimize their undesirable effects. Generic Clomid also works as an anti-oestrogen by binding to oestrogen receptors located on the surface of cells, thus blocking oestrogen present in the blood from binding to those receptors. This competitive inhibition allows Clomiphene Citrate tablets to reduce the adverse effects such as gynecomastia and water retention that may arise from the presence of estrogen.
