Meriofert (Follicle-Stimulating Hormone, Luteinising Hormone)

Follicle‑Stimulating Hormone; Luteinising Hormone, the active ingredient in Meriofert, is a gonadotropin presented as an injectable solution for intramuscular or subcutaneous use. It is used to treat infertility caused by anovulation, to support ovarian stimulation in assisted reproductive technologies, and to manage hypogonadotropic hypogonadism.

GNH India supplies Meriofert as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, pharmacies and clinics worldwide.

Indications & Clinical Uses

Meriofert is a gonadotropin used in reproductive medicine to stimulate ovarian function.

  • Infertility due to anovulation: promotes follicular development and ovulation.
  • Assisted reproductive technology (e.g., IVF) ovarian stimulation: enhances multiple follicle growth for egg retrieval.
  • Hypogonadotropic hypogonadism: replaces deficient endogenous FSH and LH to restore normal gonadal activity.

How It Works

  • Meriofert contains recombinant follicle‑stimulating hormone and luteinising hormone that bind to their respective FSH and LH receptors on ovarian granulosa and theca cells. Activation of these G‑protein‑coupled receptors stimulates intracellular cAMP production, leading to follicular maturation, estradiol synthesis, and luteinisation, thereby facilitating ovulation and supporting the luteal phase.

Side Effects

Administration of Meriofert may be associated with a range of adverse reactions, which are generally classified by frequency and severity.

Common Side Effects

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

Serious or Rare Side Effects

  • Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS): potentially severe fluid shift and thromboembolic risk.
  • Multiple pregnancy: increased risk of twins or higher‑order gestations.
  • Severe allergic reaction: anaphylaxis, urticaria, or angioedema.

Precautions & Warnings

Before prescribing Meriofert, clinicians should consider several precautionary measures to ensure safe use.

  • Assess baseline ovarian reserve: evaluate antral follicle count and hormone levels.
  • Monitor estradiol levels during stimulation: adjust dose to avoid excessive response.
  • Perform ultrasound monitoring of follicular development: detect early signs of OHSS.
  • Review concomitant medications: avoid agents that may exacerbate ovarian response.
  • Contraindications: do not use in patients with known hypersensitivity to gonadotropins or active ovarian cysts.
  • Store at 2-8°C: keep refrigerated, protect from light, do not freeze or shake.

Avoid Interactions

Meriofert can interact with other agents that influence reproductive hormone pathways or coagulation.

Major Interactions (Avoid)

  • GnRH agonists or antagonists: may alter the intended stimulation protocol.
  • High‑dose estrogen therapy: can suppress endogenous gonadotropin response.
  • Anticoagulants: increased risk of bleeding at injection sites.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely)

  • Oral contraceptives: may require a washout period before initiating therapy.
  • Thyroid hormone replacement: monitor thyroid function as gonadotropins can affect hormone metabolism.
  • Diuretics: may mask early signs of OHSS; monitor fluid balance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Meriofert is prescribed to treat infertility caused by anovulation, to stimulate the ovaries during assisted reproductive technologies such as in‑vitro fertilisation, and to replace deficient gonadotropins in patients with hypogonadotropic hypogonadism.

Both hormones bind to specific receptors on ovarian cells. FSH promotes growth and maturation of ovarian follicles, while LH triggers ovulation and supports luteal phase function. Together they coordinate the hormonal cascade required for successful egg release and preparation of the uterus.

The dose of Meriofert is individualized. A qualified prescriber determines the amount, frequency and duration based on the patient’s ovarian reserve, treatment protocol and response to monitoring.

Meriofert is intended for use before conception to achieve pregnancy. Its safety has not been established for use during an established pregnancy or while breastfeeding, and it should only be used under specialist supervision if pregnancy occurs.

To order Meriofert, 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 required) and necessary import documentation.

Meriofert combines recombinant FSH and LH in a single injectable formulation, offering the convenience of a dual‑hormone preparation. Compared with separate FSH‑only products, it may reduce the number of injections needed, while providing the LH activity that can be beneficial for certain stimulation protocols.

Meriofert must be stored at 2‑8 °C (refrigerated). Keep the vial in its original packaging, protect it from light, and avoid freezing or shaking the product to maintain potency.

Meriofert is given by a trained healthcare professional as an intramuscular or subcutaneous injection. The injection site is typically the thigh or abdomen, and the exact technique follows the prescribing physician’s protocol.

The most serious risks include ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, which can cause rapid fluid shifts and thromboembolic complications, and the possibility of multiple pregnancy. Severe allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis are also rare but require immediate medical attention.

Meriofert should not be used in individuals with known hypersensitivity to any gonadotropin component, active ovarian cysts, uncontrolled thyroid disease, or in patients where ovarian stimulation is contraindicated, such as certain cancers or severe systemic illness.
