Each dose of Clomid is supposed to be taken with a full glass of water to make sure the medicine is washed down quickly and starts dissolving only once inside your stomach. This medicine is usually supposed to be taken in 5 day cycles unless your health care provider recommended otherwise. Since dosing schedule can be different for each individual case, make sure you listen to your heath care provider very carefully when instructions are given. If you happened to forget how to take your medicine, contact your doctor and ask him this question. If your doctor is for any reason unavailable at the moment, try to remember how you took the first dose. If that kind of experience did not take place yet, read the label of Clomid and see the directions for using this medicine. However, it’s always best to follow the recommendations you were given individually. The directions you will find on the label are provided for an average patient, while you may be prescribed a certain scheme based on your individual needs. With Clomid it’s especially important to follow all the steps exactly as indicated, as otherwise your treatment is to going to be as efficient. Clomid comes in a dosage of 50 mg. This means that every tablet of Clomid contains 50 mg of the active ingredient – clomiphene. Taking more of this medicine is not going to increase the efficiency of Clomid and can only increase your side effects. Additionally, there is a risk for you to experience an overdose of Clomid. An overdose of Clomid is expected to produce the following symptoms: vomiting, flushing, blurred vision, abdominal pain, visual spots, and nausea. Since Clomid can cause visual problems, make sure you avoid taking part in any activities that require clear vision. That way you will be able to avoid accidents and other events that can be dangerous to your health and wellbeing. For the first time of Clomid being used make sure you are in some place where you can take a seat or get some help of you experience visual problems. Many women are able to carry on with their normal life when taking Clomid and even though their side effects may persist continue with the treatment. This is not too difficult as the cycle of your treatment usually takes 5 days. Since Clomid is one of most efficient medications specially designed for the treatment of infertility, the risk is usually justified, and the side effects you may experience, such as flushing, visual problems, nausea etc. can be tolerated. Never give your Clomid to other women, even though they may say they have the same problem as you do. Clomid is a serious medication that is supposed to be taken only by someone who has been examined by a qualified health care professional or received qualified help elsewhere. Giving your dose of Clomid to other people may be simply dangerous for them, as you are not aware of all the contraindications they may have.
