Clomifene Citrate, also known as Clomiphene Citrate, is a medication commonly prescribed to women who experience difficulty ovulating. It is indicated for the treatment of anovulation, a condition where the ovaries do not release eggs regularly. By stimulating the release of hormones necessary for ovulation, Clomifene Citrate helps promote the development and release of eggs, thereby increasing the chances of conception in women struggling with infertility due to irregular ovulation patterns.
