Product Introduction
Gerta 1000mg Injection contains the active ingredient follitropin beta. It is a gonadotropin, a class of medications that regulate reproductive organ function. It is indicated for treatment of infertility in women with anovulation (absence of ovulation) and is also used in medically assisted reproduction programmes such as in vitro fertilisation/embryo transfer (IVF/ET). It also helps male patients with hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (deficiency of male sex hormones). This medication is not recommended if you are allergic to follitropin beta or any of its components. Pregnant women or those experiencing heavy or irregular vaginal bleeding should not use this medication. Inform your doctor if you have thyroid disorders or liver disorders. Gonadotropin treatment may increase the risk of thrombosis or blood clots. Before beginning treatment, discuss with your doctor if you or your family has a history of thrombosis or if you are significantly overweight. Inform your doctor of all medications you are currently taking before starting treatment.
Uses
Treatment of infertility in anovulatory women and assisted reproduction program Hypogonadotropic hypogonadism in men
How it works
Gerta 1000mg Injection contains recombinant follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). FSH is a hormone that plays a major role in the growth and development of follicles in the ovaries and the production of sex hormones. This medicine acts by stimulating ovarian follicle growth for women having trouble with ovulation. It boosts sperm production in men with hormonal issues.
How to Use
Treatment should be started under the guidance of a healthcare provider. It is given just beneath your skin (subcutaneously), either in the abdominal wall or the upper thigh, by your healthcare provider. Your physician will decide the correct dosage and duration based on age, body weight, and disease condition.
Side Effects
Side effects are unwanted symptoms caused by medicines. Even though all medicines cause side effects, not everyone gets them. Serious Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (ovaries enlarge and leak fluid into the body) Blood clots Ovarian torsion (twisting of ovaries ) Common Headache Injection site reactions (bruising, pain, redness, swelling, and itching) Pelvic pain Stomach pain and bloating Acne and breast enlargement (in males)
Expert Tips
There is a possibility for a false-positive pregnancy test result (blood or urine) within ten days of taking Gerta 1000mg Injection. Confirm your results with your physician. Make sure to consume foods high in protein as it promotes the overall reproductive health and the formation of eggs. Men, try to limit your intake of soy products as soy consumption may further suppress sperm production, especially in men who already have low sperm counts.
