WHAT REKOVELLE IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
REKOVELLE contains follitropin delta, a follicle stimulating hormone
which belongs to the family of
hormones called gonadotropins. Gonadotropins are involved in
reproduction and fertility.
REKOVELLE is used in the treatment of female infertility and in women
undergoing assisted
reproduction programmes such as
_in vitro_
fertilisation (IVF) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection
(ICSI). REKOVELLE stimulates the ovaries to grow and develop many egg
sacs (‘follicles’), from
which eggs are collected and fertilised in the laboratory.
