Why is Menopur prescribed?

Menotropins (Menopur) is prescribed for the treatment of infertility in women. It is given in combination with human chorionic gonadotropin (a hormone that maintains pregnancy) to induce pregnancy.

What does it do?

Menopur contains two hormones, follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone. The follicle-stimulating hormone stimulates the growth of an egg and the luteinizing hormone induces the release of the egg from the ovary (ovulation). Menopur belongs to a drug class called gonadotropins. It works by supplying follicle-stimulating hormones and luteinizing hormones to aid the growth and release of eggs in the ovaries.

How should I use it?

Menopur and its generic equivalents are currently available in 75IU vials. It should be injected under the skin according to your doctor’s instructions.

Follow your doctor’s instructions when mixing and preparing Menopur and use the solution right away after mixing. If the solution contains any particles or is discolored, do not use it.

Inject Menopur at different areas each time and do not inject it in the same area twice. Discard any leftover solution after injecting. Throw away used syringes and do not reuse them.

The dosage strength depends on every patient’s condition and the doctor’s prescription. It is imperative that you do not self-medicate and only use this drug after consulting with your doctor or pharmacist to determine the best dosage and dosing schedule for the treatment of your condition.

What if I missed a dose?

The desired effects of prescribed medications will only be achieved if used properly. As much as possible, strictly follow your doctor’s prescribed dosing schedule. If you miss a dose, consult your doctor for instructions.

What are the special precautions before using Menopur?

Inform your doctor about all the medications you are taking, your current and previous medical history, and any allergic reactions to Menopur or any other ingredients included in the manufacture of this medication.

Using Menopur may cause multiple births, which can lead to a high-risk pregnancy. It may also increase your risk of developing several problems during pregnancy.

Menopur may cause drowsiness. Limit alcohol consumption and avoid doing activities that require your full attention such as driving or operating machinery until you feel it is safe to do so.
