Cyclofenil
Cyclofenil
Cyclofenil (pronounced: /ˈsaɪkləˌfenɪl/) is a synthetic, non-steroidal estrogen that was primarily used in the treatment of menstrual disorders. It is also known as Fertodur, Neoclym, Ondogyne, and Sexovid.
Etymology
The term "Cyclofenil" is derived from its chemical structure, which includes a cyclohexyl group and a phenyl group. The suffix "-il" is commonly used in the naming of organic compounds.
Usage
Cyclofenil was primarily used in the treatment of menstrual disorders such as amenorrhea and oligomenorrhea. It was also used in the treatment of infertility due to anovulation or luteal insufficiency.
Mechanism of Action
Cyclofenil works by binding to estrogen receptors in the body, thereby mimicking the effects of natural estrogen. This can help to regulate the menstrual cycle and stimulate ovulation in women who are not ovulating regularly.
Side Effects
Common side effects of Cyclofenil include nausea, vomiting, headache, and breast tenderness. In rare cases, it can cause more serious side effects such as blood clots, stroke, or heart attack.
