Lupi-HMG Injection (Menotrophin): Hormonal Injection | For Infertility Treatment, Ovulation Induction & Fertility Support
Product Overview
Lupi-HMG Injection contains human menopausal gonadotropin (hMG), a hormone medicine used in fertility treatment. It contains follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH), which help regulate reproductive function. In women, it may be prescribed to stimulate the development of ovarian follicles and support ovulation. In certain cases, it may also be used in fertility treatment for men to support sperm production under specialist supervision. Treatment should be carefully monitored by a healthcare professional.
How Does Lupi-HMG Injection Work?
Lupi-HMG provides hormones that help stimulate the ovaries to develop mature follicles and support egg production. In men, these hormones may help support reproductive function as part of a specialist-directed treatment plan.
Understanding Its Role in the Body
FSH supports the growth and development of ovarian follicles, while LH helps regulate reproductive hormone activity. Together, these hormones may support ovulation and fertility treatment when clinically appropriate.
Key Uses of Lupi-HMG Injection
- Ovulation induction: Helps stimulate follicle development in women who have difficulty ovulating.
- Fertility treatment: May be used as part of assisted reproductive techniques, such as IVF.
- Male infertility: May be used in selected cases alongside other hormone treatments under specialist supervision.
Clinical Considerations
Before treatment, a healthcare professional may assess hormone levels, reproductive health, and medical history. Ultrasound scans and hormone tests may be needed to monitor the response and adjust treatment.
Lupi-HMG Injection may cause injection-site reactions, headache, abdominal discomfort, or bloating. In women, it can sometimes cause ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), a potentially serious condition. Seek medical advice for severe abdominal pain, rapid weight gain, or difficulty breathing. Use this injection only under specialist supervision.
