Uses of Menopur Injection

Benefits of Menopur Injection

Treatment of Female infertility
Menopur 600IU Injection helps in the normal development of an egg in a woman’s ovary (female reproductive organ), and stimulates the release of a healthy, mature egg. This helps to treat infertility in women and increases the chance of a successful pregnancy. It is given as an injection by a doctor or nurse and should not be self-administered. You should use the medicine as prescribed for it to be effective.

Treatment of Male hypogonadism
Male Hypogonadism is the improper functioning of reproductive organs, that is, the testes in males, which causes failure to produce sex hormones required for fertility. Menopur 600IU Injection acts as the male sex hormone, testosterone, and therefore, improves sperm production in males. This can reduce infertility and help to treat hypogonadism in males. Follow your doctor’s instructions carefully to get the most benefit.

Treatment of Male infertility
Male infertility refers to a male’s inability to cause pregnancy in a fertile female. This may be due to an inadequate amount of sex hormones in males, which affects the sperm health as well as sperm count. Menopur 600IU Injection behaves as the male sex hormone, testosterone, and helps in treating infertility in males. It improves sperm count as well as their quality. This helps the proper functioning of sex organs in males and increases the chances of conceiving for a female.
