Description

Siphene 50 MG Tablet is a medicine used to treat female infertility (inability of women to get pregnant). It works by increasing the release of certain hormones (the body's chemical messengers), which help in inducing ovulation (egg production) in women. Siphene 50 MG Tablet has common side effects such as breakthrough bleeding or spotting, headache, breast pain or tenderness, and flushing (feeling of warmth and redness in the face). These side effects usually subside with time. However, if they persist or worsen, consult your doctor for further assistance. Avoid driving vehicles or operating heavy machines while taking this medication as it can cause blurring of vision. Siphene 50 MG Tablet can be taken with or without food. Do not take more than the recommended dose. Follow the instructions given by your doctor about the dose and duration of treatment. Siphene 50 MG Tablet is not recommended if you are allergic to it. It is not recommended if you have liver conditions, unknown abnormal vaginal bleeding, cyst (fluid-filled pockets) in your ovary, a pituitary gland or other brain tumour, or thyroid or adrenal gland condition (inability of the thyroid or adrenal gland to produce adequate amount of hormone). Do not take the medicine if you have early menopause (end of women’s menstrual cycle). Siphene 50 MG Tablet should be taken with caution if you have hyperlipidaemia (an excess of fats in the blood), hormone-dependent cancer, fibroids (non-cancerous muscular growth) in your womb, or had fits in the past. Siphene 50 MG Tablet is not intended for use in children and adolescents. It is unsafe for use during pregnancy. Consult your doctor before taking this medicine if you are breastfeeding.
