| Abstract: | We describe the longest-known continuous use of clomiphene citrate ever reported in a human. As a result of a pharmacy error, a woman took 50 mg/day clomiphene citrate for three months. The prolonged use of this medication resulted in ovarian hyperstimulation and unilateral oophorectomy for torsion. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Inc. |
