Vasomotor flushes-the correct answer is d. clomiphene acts by binding estrogen receptor sites in the hypothalamus and blocking the negative feedback of circulating estrogens. this results in increased follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone levels, which stimulate ovulation. it successfully treats women with anovulatory cycles but is not effective in women whose infertility is secondary to a pituitary abnormality. hot flashes are a common adverse effect caused by hypoestrogenism at the hypothalamic level due to blockade of estrogen receptors. other adverse effects of clomiphene include ovarian enlargement.answer a is incorrect. disturbances in color vision are an adverse effect of sildenafil, a muscle relaxant used to treat erectile dysfunction.answer b is incorrect. nasal congestion, orthostasis, nausea and headache may occur with cabergoline in the treatment of infertility due to hyperprolactinoma. cabergoline is an ergoline derivative with potent inhibitory effects on prolactin secretion.answer c is incorrect. nausea and vomiting are common adverse effects of estrogen therapy, not anti-estrogen therapy. estrogen therapy can be used for postmenopausal hormone therapy and hypogonadism.answer e is incorrect. weight gain and fluid retention are adverse effects of gonadotropins, which can be used to increase ovarian follicular maturation
