Fertomid

Fertomid is used for treating female infertility and forcertain conditions as determined by your doctor.

Use Fertomid as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for exact dosing instructions.

• Take Fertomid by mouth with or without food.
• Properly timed sexual intercourse is important for good results. Ovulation usually occurs 5 to 10 days after a dose of Fertomid.
• If pregnancy has not been successful after 3 courses of treatment, further treatment is not recommended. Long-term use of Fertomid is not recommended.

Fertomid is an ovulatory stimulant. It works by helping to produce more hormones that cause your ovaries to release 1 or more eggs.

If you miss a dose of Fertomid, contact your doctor right away.
