Hi,

Ovofar (clomiphene) is commonly prescribed to treat male and female infertility.

Its common side effects include bloating, headache, hot flushes, breast discomfort, intermenstrual bleeding and multiple pregnancies!

It does not cause hypothyroidism (increased TSH) as you suspect.

You need to increase the dose of Thyronorm in such a way that the TSH level should be in the optimal range of 0.3 to 4 units.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Mohammed Taher Ali, General & Family Physician
