Menotas SP 75IU Injection

Menotas SP 75IU Injection contains menotrophin, an ovulation stimulator from the gonadotropin group of medications. It is a highly purified mixture of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinising hormone (LH), natural hormones produced in both males and females that enable the reproductive organs to function normally.

Menotas SP 75IU Injection is used to treat infertility in women who are not ovulating, including those with polycystic ovarian disease, and who have not responded to treatment with clomiphene citrate. It is also used to stimulate multiple follicles and promote fertility in women undergoing IVF (in-vitro fertilisation) or other assisted conception procedures. The injection is also indicated for treating infertility in men due to low sperm count.

Do not take Menotas SP 75IU Injection if you are allergic to menotrophin or any other ingredient in this medicine. Do not use this medication if you have a tumour in the pituitary gland (a gland at the base of the brain that produces certain hormones, including growth hormones), hypothalamus (an area beneath the thalamus that controls body temperature and blood pressure), uterus, ovaries, breast, testicles, or prostate gland.

Before starting treatment, you will be assessed for underactive thyroid problems, hormone levels, and tumours of the pituitary and hypothalamus. Do not take this medicine if you have ovarian cysts unrelated to PCOD, vaginal bleeding, early menopause, physical problems in the reproductive organs, a removed womb, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Inform your physician immediately if you experience abdominal pain and swelling, weight gain, diarrhoea, difficulty in breathing, or decreased urination. Inform your physician if you have or have had liver problems or a history of blood clotting disease before beginning treatment.

Infertility in men and women

In the absence of sufficient endogenous luteinising hormone (LH), menotrophin binds to the follicle-stimulating hormone receptor (FSH), resulting in ovulation. It also attaches to the LH receptor, causing appropriate hormone release and treating infertility in women and men.

It will be given to you by a doctor or nurse in a hospital or clinic setting. It is given as an intramuscular injection (into your muscles) or under the skin. Do not self-administer the injection. Your doctor will decide the dose, route of administration and duration of the treatment based on your disease severity, body weight, and other factors.
