Indications & Clinical Uses

Meriofert® Pfs is a gonadotropin used in reproductive‑endocrine disorders to restore or stimulate ovarian function.

  • Infertility due to anovulation: promotes follicular growth and induces ovulation.
  • Hypogonadotropic hypogonadism: replaces deficient FSH and LH to re‑establish normal ovarian activity.
  • Assisted reproductive technology cycles: supports controlled ovarian stimulation in IVF and ICSI protocols.

How It Works

  • The preparation contains both follicle‑stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinising hormone (LH). After subcutaneous injection, the hormones bind to their respective receptors on ovarian granulosa and theca cells, activating intracellular signaling pathways that drive follicular maturation, estradiol synthesis, and luteal phase support, ultimately leading to ovulation.

Side Effects

Common Side Effects

  • Injection site pain or erythema: mild local reaction at the injection site.
  • Abdominal discomfort: transient bloating or mild cramping.
  • Headache: mild to moderate intensity.
  • Nausea: occasional upset stomach.
  • Breast tenderness: mild swelling or soreness.
  • Mild ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS): mild abdominal distension.

Serious or Rare Side Effects

  • Severe OHSS: rapid weight gain, ascites, or respiratory distress.
  • Thromboembolic events: deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism.
  • Allergic reactions: rash, itching, or anaphylaxis.
  • Pulmonary edema: fluid accumulation in lungs.
  • Ectopic pregnancy: implantation outside the uterus.
  • Multiple pregnancy: gestation of twins or higher order multiples.

Precautions & Warnings

Before initiating therapy, clinicians should assess patient history and monitor response closely.

  • Pregnancy testing: confirm the patient is not pregnant prior to starting treatment.
  • Ovarian monitoring: perform ultrasound to detect excessive follicular response.
  • Hormone levels: check baseline FSH, LH, and estradiol values.
  • Thrombotic risk: evaluate history of clotting disorders.
  • Storage: Store at 2-8°C: keep refrigerated, protect from light, do not freeze or shake.

Avoid Interactions

Meriofert® Pfs may interact with several drug classes that affect reproductive hormones or coagulation.

Major Interactions (Avoid)

  • GnRH agonists: may amplify gonadotropin response, increasing OHSS risk.
  • GnRH antagonists: may blunt the intended effect of FSH/LH.
  • Ovarian stimulation agents (e.g., clomiphene): heightened risk of excessive ovarian response.
  • Steroid hormones: can alter endogenous hormone balance.
  • Anticoagulants: increased bleeding risk at injection sites.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely)

  • Thyroid hormone therapy: monitor thyroid function tests.
  • Antidiabetic agents: observe glucose fluctuations.
  • NSAIDs: may mask pain from ovarian enlargement.
  • Antidepressants: watch for mood changes.
  • Herbal supplements (e.g., phytoestrogens): possible interference with hormone activity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Meriofert® Pfs is a combination of follicle‑stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinising hormone (LH) used to treat infertility caused by anovulation and to replace deficient gonadotropins in patients with hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, supporting ovarian follicle development and ovulation.

Both hormones bind to specific receptors on ovarian cells. FSH stimulates granulosa cells to promote follicular growth and estradiol production, while LH acts on theca cells and the mature follicle to trigger ovulation and luteal phase support, together restoring normal reproductive function.

The dose of Meriofert® Pfs is individualized. A qualified prescriber determines the amount and schedule based on the patient’s hormonal profile, response to therapy, and specific treatment goals. No fixed regimen is provided in public information.

Meriofert® Pfs is intended for use before conception to induce ovulation. It is not recommended during an established pregnancy, and safety data for breastfeeding are limited. Clinicians should evaluate risks and benefits before prescribing to women who are pregnant or nursing.

To place an order, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnhindia.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH India works with hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details (including cold‑chain if needed) and import documentation.

Meriofert® Pfs combines both FSH and LH in a single formulation, which can simplify dosing compared with separate FSH‑only preparations. This dual action may better mimic natural ovarian stimulation, but choice of product depends on individual patient response, protocol preferences, and clinician experience.

Meriofert® Pfs should be stored refrigerated at 2‑8 °C, protected from light, and must not be frozen or shaken. Keep the vial in its original packaging until use and discard any product that has been exposed to temperatures outside the recommended range.

The medication is supplied as a sterile injectable solution for subcutaneous injection. A healthcare professional prepares the dose using aseptic technique and administers it into the subcutaneous tissue, typically in the abdomen or thigh, following the prescriber’s instructions.

Serious risks include severe ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), which can cause rapid weight gain, abdominal pain, and respiratory distress, as well as thromboembolic events, allergic reactions, pulmonary edema, ectopic pregnancy, and multiple gestations. Prompt medical attention is required if these occur.

Meriofert® Pfs is contraindicated in women who are currently pregnant, have known hypersensitivity to the product, have uncontrolled thyroid disease, active ovarian cysts, or a history of severe OHSS. Patients with uncontrolled endocrine disorders or significant cardiovascular disease should also avoid its use.
