Profertil: function, dosage, side effects, how to use

Uses

What is profertile used for?

Profertile is for women who are in a pregnant program. This drug is also usually used for women who have fertility problems. This drug works by stimulating an increase in the amount of hormones that release mature eggs.

Apart from treating fertility problems in women, profertil can also be used as a treatment for oligospermia in men. Oligospermia is a condition in which the male body produces too little sperm.

Profertil is a drug with the active substance clomiphene citrate, also known as clomid. In women, this drug stimulates the pituitary gland to release hormones necessary for ovulation to occur.

Generally, this drug is given to women who have certain health conditions that cause ovulation to not occur normally in their body. One example is a female patient with polycystic ovary syndrome or polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS).

Not much different from women, profertile in men works by increasing the production of certain hormones in the body, so that testosterone levels and sperm production increase.
