FOLLITROPIN ALFA

Pharmacological action

Recombinant FSH produced by genetic engineering of cells of Chinese hamster ovary. It stimulates the formation of follicles. Effects due to the fact that parenteral administration follitropina alpha is formed mature graafovyh bubbles.


Statement

Anovulyatornoe infertility, hypothalamic-pituitary disorders - oligomenorrhea, amenorrhea (including with polycystic ovaries), stimulation of superovulation (stimulating the growth of multiple follicles) in the technology subsidiary of methods of reproduction.


Dosage regimen

Solo, depending on the applied treatment regimens.


Side effect

Perhaps: ectopic pregnancy (in women with a history of tubal disease), multiple pregnancy, ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, fever, arthralgia, at the injection site - the pain and congestion.
