Drugs for ovulation induction.
Infertility occurs in about 15% of couples. About one-third of cases are due to problems with ovulation or other female factors, another third are due to a male infertility factor, and the remaining third are unexplained. In older women, unexplained infertility is probably caused by diminished quality and quantity of oocytes. The first approach to treatment of female-factor infertility generally is the use of drugs that stimulate oocyte production.
