Expert Q&A

| By Traci Kurtzer Obstetrician and Gynecologist | ||
I have read that women on Clomid should take a mucous thinning medication like Robitussin to thin their mucous. Could you please tell me when I need to take Robitussin, how much and for how long?
Take the Robitussin as directed on the package for the week prior to and the day of ovulation.
