It is used to cause ovulation. This helps to treat infertility in women. This increases the chance of a successful pregnancy. It is given by the doctor or nurse. You should use the medicine as prescribed for it to be effective. You may be asked to continue with this treatment for a period after becoming pregnant. 2. In Treatment of Male hypogonadism: Hypogonadism is the improper functioning of reproductive organs, like testes in males and ovaries in females, which causes failure to produce sex hormones required for fertility.
