Goodova 25 Capsule

Introduction

Goodova is a prescription medication that combines two active ingredients: Clomiphene and Melatonin. Clomiphene is a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM), while Melatonin is a hormone that regulates sleep-wake cycles. This combination medication is primarily used for the treatment of certain fertility issues in women.

Uses

Goodova is prescribed to women who are experiencing difficulties in getting pregnant due to issues with ovulation. Clomiphene helps stimulate the release of eggs from the ovaries, increasing the chances of successful ovulation and pregnancy. Melatonin, the other active ingredient, is included to help regulate sleep patterns, which can be disrupted during fertility treatments.

Dosage and Administration

Goodova should be taken exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. The usual recommended dosage is one capsule per day, usually starting on the fifth day of the menstrual cycle. Your healthcare provider will determine the appropriate dosage and duration of treatment based on your individual needs. Follow the instructions provided and not exceed the prescribed dosage.

Mechanism of Action

The active ingredients in Goodova work together to facilitate the process of ovulation. Clomiphene helps stimulate the release of eggs by blocking the actions of estrogen in the body, which in turn increases the production of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH). Melatonin, on the other hand, helps regulate sleep-wake cycles, which can be disrupted during fertility treatments.

Side Effects

Common side effects may include hot flashes, mood swings, breast tenderness, bloating, and abdominal discomfort. These side effects are usually temporary and subside on their own. However, if any of these side effects persist or worsen, consult your healthcare provider.

In rare cases, Goodova may cause serious side effects such as ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), which can cause abdominal pain, swelling, nausea, vomiting, and difficulty breathing. If you experience any of these symptoms, seek immediate medical attention.

Drug Interactions

Goodova may interact with certain medications, including other fertility medications, hormone therapies, and certain herbal supplements. Inform your healthcare provider about all the medications and supplements you are taking to avoid potential interactions. They will be able to determine if any adjustments need to be made to your treatment plan.

Precautions

Before starting treatment with Goodova, discuss your medical history and any pre-existing conditions with your healthcare provider. This medication may not be suitable for individuals with certain medical conditions, such as liver disease, ovarian cysts, or hormone-related cancers.

Goodova should not be used during pregnancy, as it may harm the developing fetus. Use effective contraception methods while taking this medication and to consult your healthcare provider if you suspect you may be pregnant.

Storage

Goodova should be stored at room temperature, away from moisture and heat. Keep the medication out of the reach of children and pets. Do not use the medication if it has expired or if the packaging is damaged.
