Ferti M Injection 75IU (Menotrophin) — 1 Vial

Description

Ferti M (75IU) Injection contains Menotrophin, a combination of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) derived from human menopausal urine. It is used in the treatment of infertility in women and men. In women, it stimulates the ovaries to develop mature eggs, while in men, it promotes sperm production. Ferti M is usually given under specialist supervision in fertility treatment programs.
