How Flamoxifen helps infertility

Submitted by Jess on Mon 02/16/2009 - 07:39

Flamoxifen is a form of hormonal therapy that is normally used to reduce the recurrence of breast cancer in women. Flamoxifen is also available under the brand name Novaldex. When higher dozes than what is required for breast cancer are given, Flamoxifen stimulates the ovaries to produce eggs.

Flamoxifen’ s properties as an ovarian stimulator helps in solving problems of infertility. However, Flamoxifen should not be used if the woman is pregnant or trying to get pregnant. Trying to conceive after a course of Flamoxifen can yield positive results. Doctors usually use Flamoxifen if a treatment through chlomid fails to solve the problem of infertility. Medical supervision is required when a woman uses flamoxifen before attempting to conceive. Flamoxifen treatment can be said to have succeeded when ovaries start producing eggs. The drug should be stopped immediately and the couple can embark on the process of trying to get pregnant.
