Her physician
prescribed clomiphene citrate (Clomid, Global
Napi, Egypt) 100 mg for five days beginning on the second
day of her cycle. Our patient continued taking the
drug without ovulation monitoring and the regimen was
repeated with an increasing dose up to 200 mg daily for
six successive months. Laparoscopic ovarian drilling was
performed and our patient resumed using clomiphene
citrate three months after the operation without prescription.
Two months prior to admission, she took 250
mg of clomiphene citrate (five tablets per day) beginning
from the second day onwards until the 13th day of the
cycle.
