Indications

1. It is mainly used in combination with chorionic gonadotropin for anovulatory infertility caused by insufficient gonadotropin secretion (hypothalamic pituitary dysfunction or disharmony). It is generally recommended to be used in cases of ineffective ovulation induction such as clomiphene (CC) or bromocriptine.

2. Combined with chorionic gonadotropin, it is used for the treatment of primary or secondary amenorrhea and ovarian function test.

3. It is used for polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), especially for those who are ineffective with clomiphene.

4. In the assisted pregnancy technology, the stimulation of superovulation in normal ovulating women is often used in combination with clomiphene and chorionic gonadotropin to obtain multiple eggs at a time.

5. Combined with chorionic gonadotropin to treat male hypogonadism and infertility, and stimulate spermatogenic function.
