Part 6/7:
Multiple Pregnancies: About 5-8% of women using Clomid for ovulation induction may conceive multiples, including twins or higher-order multiples.
Other Risks: While rare, there is a risk of serious conditions, such as vision changes linked to possible strokes; therefore, patients are urged to monitor their symptoms closely while on Clomid.
Considerations for Use in PCOS
Although Clomid was once the first-line treatment for women with PCOS, recent studies suggest that another medication, letrozole (Lrel), is often preferred due to fewer side effects and lower risks. Nonetheless, Clomid remains a viable option for patients who do not respond to other treatments.
