Short answer: The Clomid label has no missed-dose instructions. It describes a 5-day course of one daily dose, 50 mg at first, started on or about day 5 of the cycle, with ovulation most often 5 to 10 days after the course. It does not say how a missed tablet changes the course. Ask your prescriber or pharmacist what to do.
| Situation | What the label says |
|---|---|
| Schedule | 50 mg once daily for 5 days, then 100 mg for 5 days in a later course if needed (Dosage and Administration) |
| Missed-dose rule | None in the label |
| Ovulation | Most often 5 to 10 days after a course (Dosage and Administration) |
No. We checked the Clomid prescribing information from Cosette on DailyMed. It has no missed-dose instructions and no separate patient leaflet. The Dosage and Administration section describes a 5-day course, started on or about day 5 of the cycle, with the 100 mg course taken as two 50 mg tablets in a single daily dose.
The label says ovulation most often occurs 5 to 10 days after a course, and that intercourse should be timed to the expected ovulation. A missed tablet may change that plan, which is why it is worth calling the prescriber or clinic.
Clomid is labeled for ovulation problems in women. Use in men is outside the label, so the label has no schedule or missed-dose rule for it. The schedule comes from your prescriber.
