Serophene

Description

Serophene is an estrogen modulator prescribed to treat infertility in women.

 

How It Works

 

Serophene can cause the body to increase the levels of hormones like estrogen that induces the ovaries to release a mature egg. This process is commonly referred to as ovulation. Serophene can help women who have trouble ovulating due to hormonal problems.

 

For Serophene to work, the ovaries must be healthy enough to produce and release a mature egg. Women who are infertile because the ovaries do not produce eggs, conditions referred to as ovarian or primary pituitary failure, cannot be treated with Serophene.
