Klostilbegit pills 50mg №10

Mechanism of action

Anti-estrogen drug nonsteroidal structure. The mechanism of action is explained by the ability to specifically bind to estrogen receptors in the hypothalamus and ovaries. In small doses, the drug enhances the secretion of gonadotropic hormones (prolactin, follicle-stimulating and luteinizing hormones) and stimulates ovulation. Reducing the level of circulating estrogens (which inhibit the secretion of gonadotropic hormones in high concentrations), increases the secretion of gonadotropins.

Suction
After taking the drug inside clomiphene is well absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract.
Distribution
Due to the strong binding to plasma proteins, the drug is slowly excreted from the plasma. Clomiphene and its metabolites undergo enterohepatic recirculation and accumulate in adipose tissue.
Metabolism
Clomiphene is metabolized to form metabolites with anti-estrogenic activity.
Removal
T_1/2 Clomiphene is 5-7 days.
It is excreted unchanged and in the form of metabolites, mainly with feces (37-51%), usually within 3 weeks.
