Dosing Information

The dose of clomiphene your healthcare provider recommends will vary, depending on a number of factors, including:
 
  • Whether the drug has been unsuccessful during your previous cycles
  • Other medical conditions you may have.
     
As is always the case, do not adjust your dose unless your healthcare provider specifically instructs you to do so.

Clomiphene Side Effects

As with any medicine, side effects can occur with clomiphene. However, not everyone who takes the medication will experience side effects. In fact, most people tolerate it well.

  • Enlargement of the ovaries
  • Hot flashes
  • Abdominal pain (stomach pain)
  • Pelvic pain or bloating
  • Upset stomach (nausea) or vomiting
  • Breast pain
  • Vision changes, including blurred vision, double vision, and other vision problems
