WHAT ELONVA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Elonva contains the active ingredient corifollitropin alfa and belongs
to the group of medicines called
gonadotropic hormones. Gonadotropic hormones play an important role in
human fertility and
reproduction. One of these gonadotropic hormones is Follicle
Stimulating Hormone (FSH), which is
needed in women for the growth and development of follicles (small
round sacs in your ovaries that
contain the eggs) and in adolescent males (14 years and older) for
treatment of delayed puberty due to
hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (HH), in combination with a medicine
called human Chorionic
Gonadotropin (hCG).
In women
Elonva is used to help achieve pregnancy in women having infertility
treatment, such as
_in vitro_
fertilisation (IVF). IVF involves collecting the eggs from the ovary,
fertilising them in the laboratory,
and transferring the embryos into the uterus a few days later. Elonva
causes the growth and
development of several follicles at the same time by a controlled
stimulation of the ovaries.
In adolescent males (14 years
