Abstract:
Clomiphene citrate has estrogenic and teratogenic effects on the developing rat and human fetal genital tract. Clomiphene citrate was given subcutaneously to newly born rats by daily injections of 100 micrograms/kg and changes caused by clomiphene in female rats were investigated at 28 and 35 days. Depending upon the effect of clomiphene citrate, histopathological changes such as the observation of polygonal shaped nodular cells in the uterus epithelium and presence of erythrocytes in free nature in the stroma were considered as important findings.
