Patient's question:
I once saw on a medical forum that Clomiphene, a medication used to promote ovulation, can be used to achieve rapid pregnancy. I don't know if this drug will have an impact on the fetus. Does anyone know?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it's a pleasure to assist you. Clomiphene, also known as citrate clomiphene, is primarily used to treat infertility in women with anovulation and is suitable for those with certain estrogen levels or abnormal estrogen-progestogen levels. This medication has side effects and is toxic to the fetus, making it generally contraindicated for pregnant women.Clomiphene can affect the baby. The more common side effects of clomiphene include: swelling, stomach pain, pelvic or lower abdominal pain. The less common side effects include: blurred vision, double vision, flashes of light in the eyes, light sensitivity, vision impairment, jaundice of the skin and sclera, and others.
