Lupi-HMG Injection (Menotrophin)

What is Lupi-HMG Injection?

Lupi-HMG Injection is a medication that contains a combination of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) also known as menotropin. This injection is commonly used in fertility treatments for women who have difficulty ovulating, including those undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF). Lupi-HMG Injection works by stimulating the ovaries to produce mature eggs. FSH and LH are naturally occurring hormones that regulate the menstrual cycle and promote the development of follicles in the ovaries. By increasing the levels of these hormones in the body, Lupi-HMG Injection helps to stimulate the growth and development of multiple follicles, increasing the chances of ovulation and pregnancy.

Lupi-HMG Injection is typically administered as an injection into the muscle or under the skin. Your doctor or healthcare provider will give you specific instructions on how to properly administer the injection. It is also known and sold by the name Menotrophin.

The dosage of Lupi-HMG Injection will vary depending on your individual needs and fertility treatment plan. Your doctor or healthcare provider will determine the appropriate dosage for you. Lupi-HMG Injection should be stored in a cool, dry place at room temperature. Be sure to keep Lupi-HMG Injection out of the reach of children. It should not be frozen or exposed to heat or light.

Lupi-HMG Injection may cause side effects. The most common side effects include headache, abdominal pain, nausea, and bloating. More serious side effects may include ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), which can cause severe abdominal pain, swelling, and difficulty breathing. If you experience any severe or unusual side effects, contact your doctor or healthcare provider immediately.
