Clomifene (INN) or clomiphene (USAN and former BAN) or Clomid or Clomifert is a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) that increases production of gonadotropins by inhibiting negative feedback on the hypothalamus. It is used mainly for ovarian stimulation in female infertility due to anovulation (e.g., due to polycystic ovary syndrome). Clomiphene citrate is marketed under various trade names including Clomid, Serophene, and Milophene.
