Menopur 150iu is used for the treatment of female and male infertility. In vitro fertilisation (IVF) is one of several techniques available to help people with fertility problems have a baby.
Each vial of Menopur 150iu contains with powder contains highly purified menotrophin (human menopausal gonadotrophin, HMG) corresponding to 150 IU human follicle stimulating hormone activity (FSH) and 150 IU human luteinizing hormone activity (LH).
What Menopur 150iu Vial is
Menopur 150iu Vial contains the active substance menotrophin which belongs to a group of medicines called gonadotrophins. Menotrophin is a highly purified mixture of two hormones called follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH). FSH and LH are natural hormones produced in both males and females. They help the reproductive organs to work normally.
The FSH and LH in Menopur are obtained from the urine of postmenopausal women.
What Menopur 150iu Vial is used for
In women, Menopur 150iu Vial is used to treat infertility in the following two situations:
• To promote the release of eggs from the ovaries (ovulation) in women who are not ovulating including with polycystic ovarian disease and who have not responded to treatment with another medicine called clomiphene citrate.
• To help multiple follicles and therefore eggs to develop in women having in vitro fertilisation (IVF) treatment or other
types of ‘assisted conception’. The eggs are then harvested and fertilised outside the body.
In men, MENOPUR is used to treat infertility in the following situation:
• Low sperm count (oligospermia).
What is Infertility
Infertility is when a couple cannot get pregnant (conceive) despite having regular unprotected sex.
Around 1 in 7 couples may have difficulty conceiving.
About 84% of couples will conceive naturally within a year if they have regular unprotected sex (every 2 or 3 days).
For couples who have been trying to conceive for more than 3 years without success, the likelihood of getting pregnant naturally within the next year is 1 in 4, or less.
Some people get pregnant quickly, but for others it can take longer. It’s a good idea to see a GP if you have not conceived after a year of trying.
Women aged 36 and over, and anyone who’s already aware they may have fertility problems, should see their GP sooner.
surgical procedures such as treatment for endometriosis, repair of the fallopian tubes, or removal of scarring (adhesions) within the womb or abdominal cavity
Some treatments for infertility, such as IVF, can cause complications.
For example:
multiple pregnancy – if more than 1 embryo is placed in the womb as part of IVF treatment there’s an increased chance of having twins; this may not seem like a bad thing, but it significantly increases the risk of complications for you and your babies
ectopic pregnancy – the risk of having an ectopic pregnancy is slightly increased if you have IVF
There are many possible causes of infertility, and fertility problems can affect either partner. But in a quarter of cases it is not possible to identify the cause.
Common causes of infertility include:
lack of regular ovulation (the monthly release of an egg)
poor quality semen
blocked or damaged fallopian tubes
endometriosis – where tissue that behaves like the lining of the womb (the endometrium) is found outside the womb
RISK FACTORS
There are also several factors that can affect fertility.
These include:
age – fertility declines with age
weight – being overweight or obese (having a BMI of 30 or over) reduces fertility; in women, being overweight or severely underweight can affect ovulation
sexually transmitted infections (STIs) – several STIs, including chlamydia, can affect fertility
smoking – can affect fertility: smoking (including passive smoking) affects your chance of conceiving and can reduce semen quality; read more about quitting smoking
alcohol – the safest approach is not to drink alcohol at all to keep risks to your baby to a minimum. Drinking too much alcohol can also affect the quality of sperm (the chief medical officers for the UK recommend adults should drink no more than 14 units of alcohol a week, which should be spread evenly over 3 days or more)
environmental factors – exposure to certain pesticides, solvents and metals has been shown to affect fertility, particularly in men
stress – can affect your relationship with your partner and cause a loss of sex drive; in severe cases, stress may also affect ovulation and sperm production
There’s no evidence to suggest caffeinated drinks, such as tea, coffee and colas, are associated with fertility problems.
