Special warnings about Clomid

Your doctor will evaluate you for normal liver function and normal estrogen levels before considering you for treatment with Generic Clomid 50 mg (clomiphene). Your doctor will also examine you for pregnancy, ovarian enlargement, or cyst formation prior to treatment with Generic Clomid 50 mg and between each treatment cycle. He or she will do a complete pelvic examination before each course of Generic Clomid 50 mg.

Generic Clomid 50 mg (Clomiphene) treatment increases the possibility of multiple births; also, birth defects have been reported following treatment to induce ovulation with clomiphene, although no direct effects of the drug on the unborn child have been established. Because blurring and other visual symptoms may occur occasionally with clomiphene treatment, you should be cautious about driving a car or operating dangerous machinery, especially under conditions of variable lighting.

If you experience visual disturbances, notify your doctor immediately. Symptoms of visual disturbance may include blurring, spots or flashes, double vision, intolerance to light, decreased visual sharpness, loss of peripheral vision, and distortion of space. Your doctor may recommend a complete evaluation by an eye specialist. Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (or OHSS, enlargement of the ovary) has occurred in women receiving treatment with clomiphene. OHSS may progress rapidly and become serious.

The early warning signs are severe pelvic pain, nausea, vomiting, and weight gain while taking Generic Clomid 50 mg. Symptoms include abdominal pain, abdominal enlargement, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, weight gain, difficult or labored breathing, and less urine production. If you experience any of these warning signs or symptoms, notify your doctor immediately.

To lessen the risks associated with abnormal ovarian enlargement during treatment with clomiphene, the lowest effective dose should be prescribed.

Women with the hormonal disorder, polycystic ovarian syndrome, may be unusually sensitive to certain hormones and may respond abnormally to usual Generic Clomid 50 mg doses.

If you experience pelvic pain, notify your doctor. He may discontinue your use of clomiphene until the ovaries return to pretreatment size. Because the safety of long-term treatment with clomiphene has not been established, your doctor will not prescribe more than about 6 courses of therapy. Prolonged use of Generic Clomid 50 mg may increase the risk of a tumor in the ovaries.
