Similar: Clomiphene (clomid) and Letrozole (femara) are similar in their effects, though they have a different mechanism of action. Success rates are about the same, and side effects are fewer with letrozole. Letrozole is not fda approved for use in fertility, but many physicians find it safe and effective.
