CLINICAL PARTICULARS 4.1 THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS Luveris in association with a follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) preparation is recommended for the stimulation of follicular development in adult women with severe luteinising hormone (LH) and FSH deficiency. In clinical trials these patients were defined by an endogenous serum LH level <1.2 IU/L. 4.2 POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION Treatment with Luveris should be initiated under the supervision of a physician experienced in the treatment of fertility disorders. Posology In LH and FSH deficient women, the objective of Luveris therapy in association with FSH is to develop a single mature Graafian follicle from which the oocyte will be liberated after the administration of 2 human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). Luveris should be given as a course of daily injections simultaneously with FSH. Since these patients are amenorrhoeic and have low endogenous estrogen secretion, treatment can commence at any time. Luveris should be administered concomitantly with follitropin alfa. A recommended regimen commences at 75 IU of lutropin alfa (i.e. one vial of Luveris) daily with 75 to 150 IU FSH. Treatment should be tailored to the individual patient’s response as assessed by measuring follicle size by ultrasound and estrogen response. In clinical trials, Luveris has been shown to increase the ovarian sensitivity to follitropin al Aqra d-dokument sħiħ
