MENOPUR-Injectable
This medication is used to treat certain fertility problems in women. It provides follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) that help healthy ovaries to make eggs. This medication is usually used in combination with another hormone (human chorionic gonadotropin-hCG) to help you become pregnant by bringing about the growth and release of a mature egg (ovulation). This medication is not recommended for women whose ovaries no longer make eggs properly (primary ovarian failure).
Headache, mild stomach pain/bloating, redness/pain at the injection site, breast tenderness, or dizziness may occur. If any of these effects persist or worsen, notify your doctor or pharmacist promptly. Remember that your doctor has prescribed this medication because he or she has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects. Tell your doctor right away if any of these unlikely but serious side effects occur: flu-like symptoms (e.g., fever, chills, joint pain, muscle ache, tiredness). Seek immediate medical attention if any of these rare but very serious side effects occur: weakness on one side of the body, trouble speaking, sudden vision changes, sudden severe headache, pain/swelling of the calf muscles, chest pain, shortness of breath. This medication may cause a condition known as Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS). This condition may occur during therapy or after treatment has been stopped. Rarely, serious OHSS causes fluid to suddenly build up in the stomach, chest, and heart area. Seek immediate medical attention if you develop the following severe pain/swelling in the lower abdominal (pelvic) area, nausea/vomiting, sudden/rapid weight gain, decreased urination. A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is unlikely, but seek immediate medical attention if it occurs.
