Description of Luveris

Luveris is a hormonal medicine that has the generic name lutropin alfa. You can buy Luveris as part of Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) therapy.

Luveris is used along with another hormonal medicine - follitropin alfa - for stimulating the follicle and making it develop and mature. FSH therapy is recommended for women who want to become pregnant and whose ovaries are capable of releasing an egg (follicle), but lack the hormonal stimulation for making it grow and mature.
