We read the DailyMed label for Clomid (clomiphene citrate tablets). It does not mention alcohol or drinking. It states: “Drug interactions with clomiphene citrate have not been documented.”
That is not the same as saying alcohol is safe. It means the label has nothing to report, and we found no official source that gives a waiting time after a dose.
Side effects worth knowing
The label says blurring or other visual symptoms, such as spots or flashes, may occasionally occur. Dizziness and lightheadedness are listed among events seen in fewer than 1% of patients in clinical trials. Alcohol can also cause dizziness, so how you feel on the medicine is a reason to ask first.
How it is taken
The label’s usual starting dose is 50 mg daily (one tablet) for 5 days. The label gives no half-life number. It says one form of the drug has a longer half-life than the other, and some labeled drug was still found in feces 6 weeks after a dose. So we cannot give you a safe number of days from the label.
Who to ask
Ask your fertility doctor or pharmacist what applies to you, especially if you are trying to conceive. For the alcohol in a drink, see the standard drink calculator.
