Treatment of Breast cancer

It may also interact with other hormones or have a direct effect on cancer to stop its growth.

Treatment of Infertility due to anovulation

This helps to treat infertility in women. This increases the chance of a successful pregnancy. You should use the medicine as prescribed for it to be effective.
