Indications & Clinical Uses

Meriofert is a gonadotropin used in reproductive medicine to support ovarian function and ovulation.

  • Infertility (female): promotes follicular growth and ovulation to improve chances of conception.
  • Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART): enhances ovarian response during controlled ovarian stimulation protocols.
  • Hypogonadotropic hypogonadism: replaces deficient endogenous FSH/LH to induce ovulation in women with hormonal insufficiency.

How It Works

  • Meriofert contains recombinant Follicle‑Stimulating Hormone and Luteinising Hormone that bind to FSH and LH receptors on ovarian granulosa and theca cells. Activation of these receptors triggers intracellular signaling pathways that stimulate follicular maturation, estradiol synthesis, and the LH surge required for ovulation, thereby facilitating reproductive cycles.

Side Effects

Adverse reactions may occur with any injectable gonadotropin therapy.

Common Side Effects

  • Injection site pain or erythema: mild discomfort at the injection site.
  • Abdominal discomfort or bloating: transient gastrointestinal symptoms.
  • Headache: mild to moderate intensity.
  • Nausea: occasional upset stomach.

Serious or Rare Side Effects

  • Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (severe): rapid ovarian enlargement with fluid shifts.
  • Thromboembolic events: rare clot formation.
  • Allergic reactions or anaphylaxis: signs of severe hypersensitivity.
  • Multiple pregnancy: increased risk of twins or higher order gestations.
  • Ectopic pregnancy: rare but serious implantation outside the uterus.

Precautions & Warnings

Careful monitoring and patient selection are essential when using Meriofert.

  • Assess ovarian response: perform serial ultrasound to track follicle development.
  • Screen for contraindications: avoid in active malignancy or uncontrolled thyroid disease.
  • Review cardiovascular risk: use caution in patients with thrombotic history.
  • Monitor hormone levels: adjust dosing based on serum estradiol and LH measurements.
  • Store at 2-8°C: keep refrigerated, protect from light, do not freeze or shake.

Avoid Interactions

Meriofert may interact with other agents that affect ovarian stimulation or hemostasis.

Major Interactions (Avoid)

  • GnRH agonists: can amplify response, increasing risk of severe ovarian hyperstimulation.
  • Oral contraceptives: may blunt the ovulatory effect of FSH/LH.
  • Thyroid hormone therapy: may require dose adjustment to maintain euthyroid status.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely)

  • Anticoagulants: heightened bleeding risk if ovarian cyst rupture occurs.
  • Insulin or oral hypoglycemics: monitor glucose control during ovarian hyperstimulation episodes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Meriofert is a gonadotropin preparation containing Follicle‑Stimulating Hormone and Luteinising Hormone. It is used to stimulate follicular development and induce ovulation in women undergoing fertility treatment, including assisted reproductive technologies and management of certain hormonal deficiencies.

The FSH component binds to receptors on ovarian granulosa cells, promoting follicle growth and estrogen production. The LH component activates receptors on theca cells and triggers the luteinizing surge that leads to final follicle maturation and ovulation. Together they coordinate the hormonal cascade required for successful conception.

The dose of Meriofert is individualized by the prescribing clinician based on the patient’s ovarian response, treatment protocol, and underlying condition. Healthcare providers determine the amount, frequency, and duration of therapy after evaluating clinical parameters and monitoring results.

Meriofert is intended for use before pregnancy to facilitate conception. Its safety in established pregnancy has not been established, and it is generally not recommended during pregnancy. Limited data exist for breastfeeding; therefore, use while nursing should be discussed with a qualified healthcare professional.

To place an order, submit an enquiry on the Meriofert 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 handling if needed), and required import documentation.

Meriofert combines both FSH and LH activity in a single preparation, whereas some alternatives provide only FSH (e.g., recombinant FSH) or separate LH supplementation. The combined formulation can simplify dosing schedules and may better mimic natural ovarian physiology, but the choice depends on individual patient response and clinician preference.

Meriofert should be stored at 2‑8 °C in a refrigerator, protected from light. Do not freeze the product or shake the vial vigorously. Keep it in the original packaging until use to maintain stability and potency.

Meriofert is supplied as a sterile injectable solution and is administered either intramuscularly or subcutaneously, as directed by the prescribing clinician. The injection site and technique are chosen based on patient comfort and the specific treatment protocol.

The most serious risks include severe ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, which can cause rapid ovarian enlargement, fluid shifts, and thromboembolic complications, as well as rare allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis. Prompt medical attention is required if symptoms of these conditions develop.

Meriofert is contraindicated in individuals with known hypersensitivity to its components, active malignancy, uncontrolled thyroid disease, or severe cardiovascular disorders. It should also be avoided in patients with ovarian cysts that could rupture or in those where pregnancy is already confirmed.
