Meriofert (Follicle-Stimulating Hormone, Luteinising Hormone)

Follicle‑stimulating hormone; Luteinising hormone, the active ingredient in Meriofert, is a gonadotropin presented as a sterile injectable solution for intramuscular or subcutaneous use. It treats infertility caused by anovulation, supports assisted reproductive technology protocols, and replaces deficient hormones in hypogonadotropic hypogonadism.

Indications & Clinical Uses

Meriofert, a gonadotropin preparation, is employed in several reproductive‑health indications.

  • Infertility due to anovulation: supports follicular development to enable ovulation.
  • Assisted reproductive technology (ART) stimulation: provides hormonal support for controlled ovarian hyperstimulation.
  • Hypogonadotropic hypogonadism: replaces deficient gonadotropins to restore gonadal function.

How It Works

  • Meriofert contains follicle‑stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinising hormone (LH) which bind to their respective receptors on ovarian granulosa and theca cells. Activation of these receptors stimulates follicular growth, estradiol production, ovulation and luteal phase steroidogenesis, thereby facilitating normal reproductive function.

Side Effects

Adverse reactions to Meriofert may vary in frequency and severity.

Common Side Effects

  • Injection site pain or erythema: mild discomfort at the injection site.
  • Abdominal discomfort: transient bloating or cramping.
  • Headache: mild to moderate intensity.
  • Nausea: occasional upset stomach.
  • Mild ovarian hyperstimulation: enlarged ovaries without systemic symptoms.
  • Edema: slight swelling of extremities.

Serious or Rare Side Effects

  • Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (severe): rapid weight gain, ascites, respiratory distress.
  • Thromboembolic events: deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism.
  • Allergic reactions: rash, urticaria, or anaphylaxis.
  • Multiple pregnancy: higher-order gestations.
  • Ectopic pregnancy: implantation outside the uterus.
  • Severe abdominal pain: may indicate ovarian torsion or rupture.

Precautions & Warnings

When using Meriofert, clinicians should observe several safety measures.

  • Pregnancy testing: confirm non‑pregnant status before initiating therapy.
  • Monitoring: perform regular ultrasound and estradiol assessments to detect excessive ovarian response.
  • Allergy: avoid in patients with known hypersensitivity to gonadotropins or excipients.
  • Thrombotic risk: assess history of clotting disorders before treatment.
  • Drug interactions: review concurrent use of estrogen‑containing products or anticoagulants.
  • Store at 2-8°C: keep refrigerated, protect from light, do not freeze or shake.

Avoid Interactions

Meriofert may interact with other medicines; awareness of the interaction level is essential.

Major Interactions (Avoid)

  • GnRH agonists: can cause excessive ovarian response if combined without proper protocol.
  • Estrogen‑containing oral contraceptives: may blunt intended stimulation.
  • Anticoagulants: increase risk of bleeding at injection sites.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely)

  • Thyroid hormone therapy: may affect gonadotropin metabolism.
  • Corticosteroids: can alter ovarian response to stimulation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Meriofert is a gonadotropin preparation containing follicle‑stimulating hormone and luteinising hormone. It is used to treat infertility caused by anovulation, to provide hormonal support during assisted reproductive technology cycles, and to replace deficient hormones in patients with hypogonadotropic hypogonadism.

The FSH component binds to receptors on ovarian granulosa cells, promoting follicular growth and estradiol synthesis. The LH component activates receptors on theca cells and mature follicles, triggering ovulation and luteal phase steroid production. Together they mimic the natural pituitary signal that drives normal ovarian function.

The dosage of Meriofert is individualized. A qualified prescriber determines the amount, frequency and duration based on the patient’s specific condition, response to treatment and protocol requirements. No standard dose is provided in public information.

Meriofert is intended for use before conception to facilitate ovulation and embryo development. It is not recommended for use during an established pregnancy, and safety data for breastfeeding are insufficient. Treatment should be discontinued once pregnancy is confirmed, and breastfeeding decisions should follow a physician’s guidance.

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 logistics if needed) and any required import documentation.

Meriofert combines both FSH and LH in a single injectable formulation, whereas some alternatives provide only recombinant FSH or separate LH preparations. The combined approach can simplify dosing schedules and may better mimic natural pituitary output, but selection depends on the specific clinical protocol, patient response and physician preference.

Meriofert must be stored refrigerated between 2 °C and 8 °C. Keep the vial in its original packaging, protect it from light, and avoid freezing or shaking. If the product reaches room temperature for a short period, it may be used, but it should be returned to the refrigerator promptly.

Meriofert is supplied as a sterile solution for injection. It is administered either intramuscularly or subcutaneously according to the prescribing clinician’s instructions. The injection site is typically the abdomen or thigh, and aseptic technique should be observed for each dose.

The most serious adverse events include severe ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, which can cause rapid weight gain, fluid accumulation and respiratory compromise, as well as thromboembolic complications, allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis, and the possibility of multiple or ectopic pregnancies. Prompt medical evaluation is required if any of these occur.

Meriofert is contraindicated in individuals with known hypersensitivity to FSH, LH or any excipients in the formulation, in patients with active ovarian cysts, uncontrolled thyroid disease, or a history of severe ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome. It should also be avoided in women who are already pregnant.
