- MenotropinsMenotropins (human menopausal gonadotropin, hMG) are a prescription mixture of follicle‑stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinising hormone (LH) derived from menopausal urine. They are used to induce ovulation and to stimulate multiple follicle development in controlled ovarian stimulation protocols for intra‑uterine insemination (IUI), in‑vitro fertilisation (IVF) and gamete intrafallopian transfer (GIFT).
- UrofollitropinUrofollitropin is a urinary‑derived follicle‑stimulating hormone (FSH) preparation approved for prescription use. It is employed to induce ovulation in women with anovulatory infertility, to stimulate ovarian follicles during assisted reproductive technologies, and, in some regions, to treat male infertility such as idiopathic oligoasthenozoospermia when combined with other agents.
