Clomid is a prescription medication used to treat infertile women by stimulating their ovulation. Unless otherwise recommended by your health care provider, Clomid needs to be taken in cycles of 5 days. Most women get pregnant after 6 cycles (approximately half a year), however, there is a higher chance of multiple births. Take Clomid exactly as recommended by your doctor – since the schedule of taking this medicine can vary for different patients, if you happen to miss a dose contact your doctor and ask for further actions. Do not stop taking Clomid unless otherwise recommended by your health care provider. Your doctor needs to know about all of your health conditions and any drugs you are taking, including over-the-counter medication, mineral supplements, herbal preparations and vitamins. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding you mustn’t start taking Clomid without previously discussing it with your doctor and learning about the potential risks and benefits. This medicine can cause serious birth defects in unborn babies when taken by expectant mothers. It has not been established whether this drug passes into breast milk. If you are going to breastfeed discuss it with your doctor.
