Menotrophin
CAS No.: 9002-68-0 (Gonadotrophin; Treatment of infertility)

Short Description:

Source: Extracted from the urine of healthy pregnant women
Function and use: For women, it can promote the maturation and ovulation of follicles, and maintain the function of the corpus luteum. For men, it can stimulate the development of Leydig cells, increase androgen secretion, promote testicular descent and the development of male secondary sexual characteristics. Combined with urinary gonadotropin, it can simulate the physiological peak of luteinizing hormone and induce ovulation. Clinically, chorionic gonadotropin is still the drug of choice for the treatment of menstrual disorders, anovulatory infertility, threatened abortion and habitual live birth, cryptorchidism, and male sexual dysfunction.

Indications

1.Use in combination with chorionic gonadotropin or clomiphene to treat anovulatory infertility. It can be used in anovulatory patients with insufficient pituitary gonadotropin secretion or hypothalamic gonadotropin-releasing hormone secretion, and is currently generally advocated for cases where ovulation induction is ineffective, such as clomiphene or bromocriptine. Combined with clomiphene, it can reduce the dosage of this product by about 50%, and at the same time can reduce the incidence of ovarian hyperstimulation.

2.It is also used for primary or secondary amenorrhea, male sperm deficiency and ovarian function tests.
