Drug Uses
Clomid benefits is a non-steroidal antiestrogen, used to treat female infertility. Clomid helps increase an estrogen level in its deficiency, and increases an estrogen level in a low level of female sex hormones. Low doses of Clomid are used to achieve a moderate estrogenic effect. High doses of Clomid are used to achieve and maintain an antiestrogen effect.
Clomid tablets are prescribed to infertile women in:
oligomenorrhea
secondary amenorrhea

Missed dose
If you’ve forgotten to take Clomid on time, take it as soon as possible. However, in this case you will have to adjust your next dose of tablets, spacing it out by 4 to 5 hours. Don’t try to compensate for the missed dose of Clomid by taking a double dose at a time
