Therapeutic effects of clomiphene manifests as the following:
Clomiphene citrate is a potent anti-estrogen that primarily is used for treatment of anovulation in the setting of an intact hypothalamic--pituitary axis and adequate estrogen production (e.g., PCOS). By inhibiting the negative feedback effects of estrogen at hypothalamic and pituitary levels, clomiphene increases follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels--typically by ~50%--and thereby enhances follicular maturation.
