Beclom

Beclom is a medication used to treat infertility in women who do not ovulate, including those with polycystic ovary syndrome. Use results in a greater chance of twins.

Beclom is not typically offered as primary treatment of hypogonadism in men who do not desire fertility preservation. These data demonstrate that Beclom is safe and effective with few side effects when used as long-term treatment of hypogonadism.

Beclom works by making the body think that your estrogen levels are lower than they are, which causes the pituitary gland to increase secretion of follicle stimulating hormone, or FSH, and luteinizing hormone, or LH.

Common side effects of Beclom are include:

• flushing (feeling of warmth)
• upset stomach.
• vomiting.
• breast discomfort.
• headache.
• abnormal vaginal bleeding.

Beclom use in pregnant women is contraindicated, as Beclom does not offer benefit in this population. Available human data do not suggest an increased risk for congenital anomalies above the background population risk when used as indicated.

Beclom is believed to be safe to take during breastfeeding, but it can decrease your supply of breast milk.

Do not stand or sit up quickly. This reduces the risk of dizzy or fainting spells. Drinking alcoholic beverages or smoking tobacco may decrease your chance of becoming pregnant. Limit or stop alcohol and tobacco use during your fertility treatments.

You may get drowsy or dizzy. Do not drive, use machinery, or do anything that needs mental alertness until you know how this drug affects you.

You should ideally take the Beclom at the same time every day, and some say that taking the pill before bed can help you sleep through some of the side effects. Some do better if they take the pill in the morning.

Beclom is usually taken once a day for 5 days.

You'll take one dose every day for five days, but you won't take any Beclom on the first day of your cycle.

The first pill of Beclom is usually started 2 to 5 days after the first day of your menstrual bleeding (cycle day 2-5) and ovulation usually happens 5-9 days after the last dose of Beclom.

Beclom has an onset of action of 5 to 10 days following course of treatment and an elimination half-life about 5 days.

Do not take it more often or for a longer time than prescribed by your doctor. Long-term treatment with this medication is not recommended and should not be more than 6 cycles.

Do not use Beclom if you are already pregnant. You should not use Beclom if you have: liver disease, abnormal vaginal bleeding, an uncontrolled adrenal gland or thyroid disorder, an ovarian cyst (unrelated to polycystic ovary syndrome), or if you are pregnant.

Call your doctor for instructions if you miss a dose of Beclom.

Signs and symptoms of overdosage as a result of the use of more than the recommended dose during Beclom therapy include nausea, vomiting, vasomotor flushes, visual blurring, spots or flashes, scotomata, ovarian enlargement with pelvic or abdominal pain.

Keep taking Beclom until your doctor tells you to stop. If you stop, the treatment may not work. If you have any further questions on the use of this product, ask your doctor or pharmacist. Like all medicines, Beclom can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them.

A previous study showed that 87 percent of women who ovulated but failed to conceive with Clomid had an additional cause of infertility such as Adhesions, tubal disease, endometriosis, male factor infertility, or a combination of these factors.

This Beclom may cause a condition known as ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). Rarely, serious OHSS causes fluid to suddenly build up in the stomach, chest, and heart area. This may occur during therapy or after treatment has been stopped.

Beclom is well tolerated in most patients and rarely induces liver injury.
