A member asked:

Does femara work the same as clomid (clomiphene)?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It depends on your c: No they are different classes of drugs. Femara causes reduction in estrogen levels and is often used for treatment of breast cancer whereas Clomid (clomiphene) is used for treating infertility.
