Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Clomiphene Citrate 5% Topical Cream is a specially compounded medication designed to address various reproductive health issues such as infertility, polycystic ovary syndrome, hypogonadism, amenorrhea, and anovulation. This unique formulation is dispensed in a pump mechanism for easy and controlled application directly onto the skin, allowing the active ingredient, clomiphene citrate, to be absorbed directly into the bloodstream.

Clomiphene citrate is a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) that functions by stimulating the release of hormones necessary for ovulation. As a topical cream, it offers a localized treatment that can effectively increase the chances of conception in women struggling with infertility, alleviate symptoms of polycystic ovary syndrome, and enhance hormone levels in men with hypogonadism. It can also help regulate menstrual cycles in women with amenorrhea and induce ovulation in women with anovulation.

When using Clomiphene Citrate 5% Topical Cream, it is crucial to adhere to the instructions provided by your healthcare provider. This medication should be applied to the skin as directed and should not be ingested. It's important to remember that the effects of this medication may not be immediate, and it may take several weeks to see results. Therefore, patience and consistency in its use are key.

If you have any questions or concerns about using Clomiphene Citrate 5% Topical Cream to treat infertility, polycystic ovary syndrome, hypogonadism, amenorrhea, or anovulation, please do not hesitate to contact us at Bayview Pharmacy. Our team of experienced compounding pharmacists is here to provide the guidance and support you need.

Enter the formula as a compound

Compounded preparations have no NDC, so this formula will not appear in your EHR's drug search. Use your system's compound, non-formulary, or free-text prescription entry and name the preparation exactly as written in step 3. If your EHR forces you to pick a listed drug, pick the closest entry for the active ingredient and put the full formula in the prescription body (the Sig or directions field), not in Notes to Pharmacy.

Compounded preparations have no NDC and will not appear in your drug search. For EPCS to validate, select a drug entry your EHR recognizes as controlled, usually the bulk powder entry for the active ingredient (for example Ketamine (bulk) powder, not a branded product), then put the full formula from step 3 in the prescription body. A free-text entry that does not validate as controlled will be rejected by your EPCS module.
