Qualifol Injection (Urofollitropin): Fertility Injection | For Infertility Treatment, Ovulation Induction
Qualifol 150IU Pre-Filled Syringe of 0.5ml Injection contains Urofollitropin, a medication used to stimulate the development of follicles in women undergoing fertility treatments.
Product Overview
Qualifol Injection contains Urofollitropin, a purified preparation of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) used in fertility treatment. It is primarily prescribed to stimulate the development and maturation of ovarian follicles in women undergoing assisted reproductive procedures or treatment for ovulation-related infertility.
Urofollitropin acts similarly to naturally occurring FSH and supports the growth of ovarian follicles, which contain developing eggs. Treatment is carefully monitored by a fertility specialist using ultrasound examinations and, when required, hormone-level assessments to determine the response and adjust the dosage appropriately.

Mechanism Insights (How It Works)
- Follicular Stimulation
Urofollitropin provides FSH activity that stimulates the ovaries and promotes the growth and development of ovarian follicles. - Follicle Maturation
As follicles respond to FSH, they grow and mature, supporting the development of eggs that may be used for conception or assisted reproductive procedures. - Support for Ovulation Treatment
By encouraging follicular development, Urofollitropin can be incorporated into medically supervised fertility protocols. Other medicines may be used alongside it to control or trigger ovulation, depending on the treatment plan.
Administration Guidelines
- Administer only under the supervision of a qualified fertility specialist.
- The injection should be given according to the prescribed dose and treatment schedule.
- Ovarian response should be monitored regularly during treatment.
- Do not change the dosage or treatment duration without medical advice.
- Follow the healthcare provider's instructions regarding preparation and administration.
Clinical Considerations
- Used as part of medically supervised fertility treatment protocols.
- Dosage is individualized according to ovarian response and treatment objectives.
- Ultrasound and hormonal monitoring may be required during therapy.
- Treatment may involve additional fertility medicines depending on the patient's protocol.
- Patients should be monitored for excessive ovarian response and other treatment-related complications.
Precautions
Qualifol Injection (Urofollitropin) should be used under the supervision of a qualified healthcare professional to ensure safe and effective treatment. Medical monitoring is particularly important because fertility treatment may cause ovarian stimulation and requires careful dose adjustment.
General Precautions
- Use only as prescribed by a fertility specialist or healthcare professional
- Follow the recommended dose and injection schedule carefully
- Regular monitoring through ultrasound and hormone tests may be required
- Do not change the dose or discontinue treatment without medical advice
- Inform your doctor about any existing medical conditions or medicines you are taking
Ovarian Stimulation Considerations
- Urofollitropin can stimulate the ovaries and may increase the risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS)
- Contact a healthcare professional if you experience severe abdominal pain, swelling, rapid weight gain, nausea, or breathing difficulties
- Treatment should be carefully monitored in women with a higher risk of ovarian complications
- Multiple pregnancy may occur as a result of fertility treatment
Pregnancy & Breastfeeding
- Qualifol Injection is intended to stimulate ovulation and is not generally used during an established pregnancy
- Inform your doctor if you become pregnant during treatment
- Consult a healthcare professional before using the medicine while breastfeeding
- Your doctor will determine whether treatment should be started, continued, or stopped based on your individual condition
Medical History & Monitoring
- Inform your doctor if you have ovarian cysts, unexplained vaginal bleeding, thyroid or adrenal disorders, or hormone-sensitive conditions
- Patients with certain ovarian, uterine, or reproductive disorders may require additional evaluation before treatment
- Keep all scheduled medical appointments for monitoring treatment response
- Report unusual pelvic discomfort, severe bloating, or other unexpected symptoms promptly
