Case Study
Mrs. Shell is a 38-year-old woman with difficulty conceiving.
She and her husband have one 10-year-old son but had some
delay in conceiving him. They held off on having a second child
to pursue their careers. After 18 months now of trying with no
success, they have consulted with a health care provider who has
determined that Mrs. Shell has ovulatory dysfunction. She has
been prescribed clomiphene citrate 50 mg PO daily for 5 days
but is a bit anxious based on the things she has read about the
drug. Correct Answer

myocardial infarction [MI], stroke); anaphylactic reaction to
CEE; liver dysfunction; protein C, S, or antithrombin deficiency;
and pregnancy Correct Answer Black Box WarningCEE
carries a black box warning for increased risk for endometrial
cancer in women with an intact uterus who are not receiving
, progesterone in combination with estrogen. Additionally, this
warning is extended to state that CEE should not be used for
prevention of cardiovascular disease or dementia, and the
Women's Health Initiative demonstrated that estrogen can
increase the risk for stroke and deep vein thrombosis. There is
also a risk for dementia in older patients.

Clomiphene Citrate
Clomiphene citrate is a nonsteroidal drug that blocks estrogen
receptors in the hypothalamus and pituitary gland. As a result,
the body receives a false signal that estrogen levels are low
causing the pituitary gland to secrete follicle stimulating
hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH).
