CLOMID was approved by the FDA in 1967, and it is manufactured by Sanofi-Avantis Pharmaceuticals. Clomid is also sold under the brand name Serophene. Clomid is used to induce ovulation in women who have difficulty conceiving a child. A recent study by the United States Centers for Disease Control revealed that Clomid is linked to an increased chance that an infant will develop a birth defect when the mother took Clomid prior to her pregnancy. Birth defects linked to Clomid include:
Clomid is classified as a “Category X” drug, which means that there is positive evidence that this drug poses a risk to an unborn child, so expectant mothers are warned to not take Clomid during pregnancy. The recent study, however, revealed that Clomid may stay in the mother’s system for several weeks after conception, which affects the development of the unborn child.
PLEASE SPEAK WITH YOUR DOCTOR BEFORE DISCONTINUING USE OF CLOMID OR ANY OTHER PRESCRIPTION MEDICATION.
