What are the side effects of Prolifen??

Hi and welcome to HCM.
Prolifen contains clomiphene citrate.
Clomiphene stimulates the release of hormones needed to cause ovulation.
Clomiphene therapy is typically used for 5 consecutive days early in the menstrual cycle, for 3 to 6 monthly cycles. It may take several cycles to find the right dose to stimulate ovulation. After that dose is determined, a woman will take the drug for at least 3 more cycles. If she does not become pregnant after 6 cycles, it is unlikely that further clomiphene treatment will be successful.
Common side effects of this medicine include:
Hot flashes.
Breast tenderness.
Headaches.
Irritability.
Call your doctor if you have:
Hives.
Stomach or pelvic pain.
Bloating.
Remember these points.
1.Usually the benefits of the medicine are more important than any minor side effects.
2.Side effects may go away after you take the medicine for a while.
Probably your doctor may suggest you to continue this medication for another 3 cycles.
Wish you all the best
