Cyclofenil (INN, USAN, BAN) (brand names Fertodur, Menopax, Ondonid, Ondogyne, Sexovid, others) is a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) used as a gonadotropin stimulant which is or has been marketed in Europe, South Korea, Mexico, and Brazil, among other countries.[1][2][3]

Cyclofenil was first introduced in 1970 under the brand name Ondogyne in France.[4] Subsequently, it was introduced under the brand names Sexovid in Japan in 1972, Ondonvid in the United Kingdom in 1972, and Fertodur in West Germany in 1972 and Italy in 1974.[4] It was also marketed as Sexovid in Sweden, Neoclym in Italy, and Klofenil in Turkey.[4]

Cyclofenil was studied in the 1970s as an agent to induce ovulation in infertile women.[5] It was then investigated as a possible treatment for scleroderma in the 1980s, but was found to be ineffective.[6] Later study of its efficacy in treating Raynaud's phenomenon in people with scleroderma also found no statistically significant benefit.[7]
