Fertility drugs

The most commonly used drugs for these purposes are based on the following active substances:
Clomiphene citrate (clomid) — causes ovulation, indirectly increasing the production of follicle-stimulating hormones (FSH) by the pituitary gland. It is prescribed if there are problems with the ovaries (for example, polycystic ovaries) to increase the number of simultaneously growing follicles and eggs.
Urinary gonadotropins — HMG) are a combination of anterior pituitary hormones (FSH and luteinizing hormone (LH)) obtained by purifying the urine of postmenopausal women. Drugs are used (in particular in IVF) to stimulate ovarian function and increase the quantity and quality of the resulting eggs. They act directly on the ovaries.
