Product Introduction
Foliculin 75IU Injection contains the active substance Urofollitropin. It is an ovulation stimulator that belongs to the group of medications called gonadotropins. This medicine is used to treat infertility in patients with anovulation, including those with polycystic ovarian disease (PCOD), who have not responded to treatment with clomiphene citrate. It is also used to promote development of multiple follicles and enhance fertility in patients undergoing IVF (in-vitro fertilization) or other assisted reproductive techniques. Additionally, Foliculin injection is prescribed in certain cases of male infertility to improve sperm count and quality. Treatment decisions involve consideration of Foliculin 75IU Injection cost, alternative formulations, and expected outcomes with IUI, as these may vary based on dosage and clinical circumstances. Manufactured by Bharat Serums, the Foliculin 75 IU injection composition provides a standardised formulation for reproductive therapy. The Foliculin 75 IU dosage and treatment duration are determined by hormone levels, ovarian response, and specialist guidance. Foliculin 75 IU may be obtained through verified online pharmacies for patient convenience, though use must occur under strict medical supervision. Do not use Foliculin 75IU Injection if you are allergic to it or any of its ingredients. Avoid use if you have tumours in the pituitary gland, hypothalamus, uterus, ovaries, breasts, testicles, or prostate. Before starting treatment, your doctor will screen for thyroid disorders, hormonal imbalances, and pituitary or hypothalamic abnormalities. This medicine is contraindicated if you have ovarian cysts not caused by PCOD, unexplained vaginal bleeding, premature menopause, or anatomical abnormalities in the reproductive organs. It should not be used if the uterus has been removed or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience abdominal pain, swelling, sudden weight gain, diarrhoea, breathing difficulty, or reduced urination, as these may indicate ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome. Inform your doctor of any liver disease or history of thrombotic disorders before commencing Foliculin 75IU Injection.
