Description of Menopur
Menopur is a mixture of FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone) and LH (Luteinizing Hormone), and its active ingredient is Menotropins. It belongs to the category of hormonal medicines. Menopur is given to the patient in the form of an intramuscular injection.
Indications & Dosage of Menopur
Menopur is used for treating certain fertility problems in women. It works by encouraging the growth and release of mature eggs so that the woman can become pregnant. It also stimulates ovulation when your ovaries are able to produce follicles, but hormonal stimulation is deficient. In some cases, a doctor may also advise a male patient to buy Menopur if his testes are functioning properly, but hormonal stimulation is deficient.
Patients who have been on an GnRH agonist will initially receive Menopur 225IU. The maximum dose that a patient can take is Menopur 450IU per day. You will receive this shot for a maximum of 20 days. The injection is given only into the muscle, and not under the skin. The vial is for one-time use only, and any remaining contents should be discarded. Menopur should not be kept for future use.
Side Effects & Interactions of Menopur
Some females may develop Ovarian Hyper Stimulation Syndrome or OHSS during Menopur treatment. Symptoms of such a condition include swelling of the hands or legs, pain or swelling in the abdomen, shortness of breath, vomiting, nausea and weight gain. However, seek immediate medical attention if you develop changes in breathing patterns.
Other side effects associated with Menopur include:
- Ovarian enlargement, symptoms of which include tenderness, pain, swelling or pressure in the abdomen or pelvis
- Chills or fever
- Headache
- Drowsiness
- Pain and weakness in the muscles or joints
- Breast enlargement or tenderness
- Swelling, irritation, pain or rash at the site of the injection
Treatment with Menopur increases your chances of giving birth to multiple babies. It also carries extra risks for the unborn child, as well as for the mother. Therefore, you should consult your doctor the risks and precautions involved before you buy Menopur.
As Menopur patients may experience dizziness, you should not use it with any other drugs that cause the same effect. Such medicines include sedatives, sleeping pills, narcotic pain relievers, antidepressants, anti-anxiety or anti-seizure medicines, muscle relaxants, and tranquilizers. In addition to these, inform your doctor about all the drugs you are taking at present, including herbal preparations, health supplements and prescription and non-prescription drugs.
Warnings & Precautions of Menopur
Menopur is not meant to be used by women who have a thyroid problem or cancer of the ovaries, breast, pituitary gland, uterus, or hypothalamus. Also inform your doctor beforehand if you suffer from ovarian enlargement, ovarian cysts, a serious or chronic medical illness, undiagnosed vaginal bleeding, heart disease, lung disease, or history of stroke or blood clots.
As the drug causes dizziness, do not drive a vehicle, operate a machine, or do any such activity that requires complete alertness. Also limit alcohol intake during Menopur treatment, as it may worsen the side effect and lead to a serious accident.
