When comparing Femara® vs. Clomid® in the treatment of infertility, both medications appear equally successful at causing ovulation. However, some healthcare providers hesitate to prescribe Femara (letrozole), since Clomid (clomiphene citrate) has been studied for a longer period and is available in generic form. If a woman has not ovulated while taking Clomid, Femara may be prescribed. Also, Femara may be less likely than Clomid to have negative effects on the cervix and uterus.
