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

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.

In adult women
• Anovulation (including polycystic ovarian syndrome, PCOs) in women
who have been unresponsive to
treatment with clomiphene citrate.
• Stimulation of multifollicular development in women undergoing
superovulation for assisted
reproductive technologies (ART) such as _in vitro_ fertilisation
(IVF), gamete intra-fallopian transfer
(GIFT) and zygote intra-fallopian transfer (ZIFT).
• Follitropin alfa in association with a luteinising hormone (LH)
preparation is recommended for the
stimulation of follicular development in women with severe LH and FSH
deficiency. In clinical trials
these patients were defined by an endogenous serum LH level < 1.2
IU/L.
In adult men

spermatogenesis in men who have congenital or
acquired hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism with concomitant human
Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG)
