This medication is not recommended for women whose ovaries no longer make eggs properly (primary pituitary or ovarian failure).

Your dosage is based on your medical condition and response to therapy. Do not take it more often or for a longer time than prescribed by your doctor. Long-term treatment with this medication is not recommended and should not be more than 6 cycles.
