Clomid Overdose: An Overview
Clomid® (
clomiphene citrate) is a prescription medication that has been licensed to treat infertility in women. As with all medicines, it is possible to take too much Clomid. The effects of a Clomid overdose will vary depending on a number of factors, including how much Clomid was taken and whether it was taken with any other medicines, alcohol, and/or drugs.
If you happen to overdose on Clomid, seek medical attention immediately.
Symptoms of a Clomid Overdose
The effects of a Clomid overdose may include:
- Upset stomach (nausea)
- Vomiting
- Hot flashes
- Blurred vision or other vision problems
- Enlarged ovaries (which may cause abdominal or pelvic pain).
Treatment for a Clomid Overdose
Treatment for a Clomid overdose varies.
If the Clomid overdose was recent, a healthcare provider may give certain medicines or place a tube into the stomach to "pump the stomach." Treatment may also involve supportive care. This type of care consists of treating the symptoms that occur as a result of the overdose. For example, supportive treatment options for a Clomid overdose may include:
- Fluids through an intravenous line (IV)
- Other treatments based on complications that occur.
It is important that you seek medical attention immediately if you believe that you may have overdosed on Clomid.
