Cyclofenil (INN, trade names Ondogyne, Sexovid, and others) is a selective estrogen receptor modulator.

Cyclofenil was investigated in the 1970s as a agent to induce ovulation in infertile women.[1] It was then investigated as a possible treatment for scleroderma in the 1980s, but was found to be ineffective.[2] Later study of its efficacy in treating Raynaud's phenomenon in people with scleroderma also found no statistically significant benefit.[3]
