Clofi 50 mg contains Clomiphene Citrate 50 mg, a medicine commonly used to treat female infertility associated with ovulation problems. It belongs to a group of medicines called selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs) and works by stimulating the release of hormones that help promote ovulation.
What Is Clofi 50 mg
Clofi 50 mg is an oral tablet containing 50 mg of clomiphene citrate. It is primarily prescribed for women who have difficulty becoming pregnant because they do not ovulate regularly or do not ovulate at all.
Clomiphene is generally used for a limited number of treatment cycles under medical supervision. It should not be taken without an appropriate fertility evaluation.
Clofi 50 mg Uses
Clofi 50 mg may be prescribed for:
- Ovulation problems
- Anovulatory infertility
- Irregular ovulation associated with certain reproductive conditions
- Supporting ovulation in women trying to conceive
Clomiphene is not appropriate for every type of infertility. Your doctor may perform tests to determine whether it is suitable for you.
How Does Clomiphene 50 mg Work
Clomiphene works mainly by blocking estrogen receptors in the hypothalamus. This can make the body perceive estrogen levels as lower than they actually are.
In response, the hypothalamus and pituitary gland increase the release of reproductive hormones, including follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH). These hormones can stimulate the ovaries and help promote the development and release of an egg.
Benefits of Clofi 50mg
When appropriately prescribed, Clofi 50 mg may help:
- Stimulate ovulation in women who have difficulty ovulating
- Improve the chances of conception in suitable patients
- Support follicle development and egg release
- Treat certain forms of ovulatory infertility
Treatment response varies between individuals and should be monitored by a healthcare professional.
How to Take Clofi
Take Clofi 50 mg exactly as prescribed by your fertility specialist or doctor. Clomiphene is generally taken for a short course during a specific part of the menstrual cycle, rather than continuously every day.
The timing and dose depend on your menstrual cycle and response to treatment. Do not change the dose or repeat treatment cycles without medical advice.
Your doctor may monitor ovulation using hormone tests, ultrasound, or other fertility assessments.

Dosage
Daily Dose
The usual starting dose of clomiphene for ovulation induction is 50 mg once daily for 5 days, commonly beginning around the early part of the menstrual cycle. The exact starting day and dose should be determined by your doctor based on your menstrual cycle and fertility assessment.
Do not take clomiphene continuously or for longer than recommended.
