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

Cyclofenil was studied in the 1970s as an agent to induce ovulation in infertile women.[3] It was then investigated as a possible treatment for scleroderma in the 1980s, but was found to be ineffective.[4] Later study of its efficacy in treating Raynaud's phenomenon in people with scleroderma also found no statistically significant benefit.[5]
