If the woman is experiencing ovulation problems, Clomiphene Citrate is often prescribed. It is commonly used for women who are experiencing Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome or other disorders that cause ovulation problems.
The human menopausal gonadotropin (hMG) is the medicine usually prescribed for women who do not ovulate because of pituitary gland problems. It acts directly on the ovaries to encourage ovulation.
Other ovary medications such as follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and gonadotropin-releasing hormone (Gn-RH) are also sometimes prescribed for women with fertility problems. These medicines come in the form of injections.
Metformin is generally used to treat women with high levels of male hormones which interfere with ovulation. Sometimes it is also combined with FSH.
Bromocriptine is often prescribed for women having ovulation problems that are caused by high levels of prolactin, the hormone that is responsible for milk production.
