Menotrophin is mainly used to manage infertility in both females and males and belongs to the group of gonadotropin medicines. In females, it stimulates ovulation in cases where women are not producing eggs properly or have polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). In males, it manages hypogonadotropic hypogonadism by increasing sperm production.
The common side effects of Menotrophin include:
Pain, redness, and swelling at the injection site.
Headache.
Abdominal pain and bloating.
Nausea and vomiting.
Breast tenderness.
Mood changes.
Menotrophin is a gonadotropin medication. Menotrophin stimulates the ovaries to produce multiple follicles in women, each encapsulating an egg. It contains Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH), which aids in the growth of these ovarian follicles, and Luteinising Hormone (LH), which supports the maturation of these follicles and instigates ovulation.
In men, Menotrophin acts on the testes to elevate levels of FSH and LH. This increase in hormones then leads to the production of testosterone and triggers sperm production.
