Fertab (50mg) 10 Tablets

This medicine is used to treat problems associated with female infertility. It contains Clomiphene, an ovulatory stimulant, which triggers the brain's pituitary gland to secrete an increased amount of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and LH (luteinizing hormone). This action stimulates the growth of the ovarian follicle and thus initiates ovulation.
