IVF-M 75 IU Injection (Menotropins – FSH + LH) | Fertility Treatment for Men & Women

Description

IVF-M 75 IU Injection contains menotropins (human menopausal gonadotropins – HMG), a combination of Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) and Luteinizing Hormone (LH).

It is widely used in fertility treatment for both women and men. In women, it helps stimulate the ovaries to develop multiple eggs. In men, it helps stimulate testosterone production and sperm development. IVF-M is commonly used in assisted reproductive techniques (ART) such as IVF and IUI cycles.

This medicine should be administered only under the supervision of a specialist doctor.
