An anti-oestrogen drug that helps to stimulate the production of follicles, often used to treat anovulation and in DI and IUI cycles.
A drug used to stimulate the ovaries to produce follicles.
A fertility drug (anti estrogen tablet) used to stimulate ovulation.
A drug that blocks the action of estrogens and so tricks the pituitary gland into thinking the ovary's follicles are not producing enough estradiol, so that natural FSH production is temporarily increased, the ovaries thereby are stimulated, and follicles grow. The LH surge and ovulation usually follow naturally, but human chorionic gonadotropin can be given if monitoring is used to make sure the follicle is properly mature. Brand names: Clomid (Marion Merrell) and Serophene (Serono)
