WHAT BEMFOLA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
WHAT BEMFOLA IS
This medicine contains the active substance follitropin alfa, which is
almost identical to a natural
hormone produced by your body called “follicle-stimulating
hormone” (FSH). FSH is a gonadotropin,
a type of hormone that plays an important role in human fertility and
reproduction. In women, FSH is
needed for the growth and development of the sacs (follicles) in the
ovaries that contain the egg cells.
In men, FSH is needed for the production of sperm.
WHAT BEMFOLA IS USED FOR
IN ADULT WOMEN
, Bemfola is used:
•
to help release an egg from the ovary (ovulation) in women that cannot
ovulate and that did not
respond to treatment with a medicine called “clomiphene citrate”.
•
together with another medicine called “lutropin alfa”
(“luteinising hormone” or LH) to help
release an egg fr
