Indications & Clinical Uses

Meriofert is a gonadotropin used in reproductive medicine to support follicular development and ovulation.

  • Infertility due to anovulation: supports follicular growth to enable ovulation.
  • Controlled ovarian stimulation for assisted reproductive technologies: provides exogenous FSH and LH to synchronize multiple follicle development.
  • Ovulation induction in polycystic ovary syndrome: facilitates ovulation when endogenous gonadotropins are insufficient.

How It Works

  • Meriofert contains recombinant follicle‑stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinising hormone (LH) that bind to their respective receptors on ovarian granulosa and theca cells. Activation of these receptors stimulates follicular maturation, estrogen synthesis, and, through LH, luteinization and ovulation, thereby enhancing the ovarian response required for fertility treatments.

Side Effects

Common Side Effects

  • Injection site reactions: pain, redness, or swelling at the injection site.
  • Mild abdominal discomfort or pelvic pain.
  • Headache.
  • Nausea.

Serious or Rare Side Effects

  • Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (severe): rapid ovarian enlargement, fluid shift, and thromboembolic risk.
  • Multiple pregnancy: increased chance of twins or higher order gestations.
  • Allergic reactions: rash, urticaria, or anaphylaxis.
  • Ectopic pregnancy.
  • Severe abdominal pain indicating possible ovarian torsion.

Precautions & Warnings

Before initiating therapy, clinicians should consider several safety measures.

  • Monitor ovarian response: use ultrasound and estradiol levels to adjust dosing.
  • Avoid use in known hypersensitivity: discontinue if allergic signs appear.
  • Assess for ovarian cysts: contraindicated if active cysts are present.
  • Consider risk of multiple pregnancy: counsel patients on potential outcomes.
  • Store at 2-8°C: keep refrigerated, protect from light, do not freeze or shake.

Avoid Interactions

Meriofert may interact with other medications affecting ovarian function.

Major Interactions (Avoid)

  • GnRH agonists: can amplify ovarian response, increasing hyperstimulation risk.
  • Oral contraceptives: suppress endogenous gonadotropins, reducing efficacy.
  • Chemotherapy agents: may impair ovarian function, altering response.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely)

  • Thyroid hormone therapy: may affect ovarian response; monitor thyroid status.
  • Anticoagulants: increased risk of ovarian bleeding; monitor coagulation parameters.
  • Corticosteroids: may alter hormone metabolism; observe clinical response.

Frequently Asked Questions

Meriofert is indicated for infertility caused by anovulation and for controlled ovarian stimulation in assisted reproductive technologies such as in‑vitro fertilisation. It provides exogenous follicle‑stimulating and luteinising hormones to promote follicular growth and ovulation.

FSH binds to receptors on ovarian granulosa cells, stimulating follicle development and estrogen production. LH binds to receptors on theca and luteal cells, supporting androgen conversion to estrogen and triggering ovulation and luteinization. Together they coordinate the hormonal cascade required for successful oocyte maturation.

The dose of Meriofert is individualized. A qualified prescriber determines the amount, frequency, and duration based on the patient’s ovarian response, treatment protocol, and clinical goals. No standard dosing regimen is provided in public information.

Meriofert is intended for use before conception to facilitate ovulation. Its safety in established pregnancy or during breastfeeding has not been established, and it is generally not recommended in these situations unless specifically advised by a specialist.

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 needed) and any required import documentation.

Meriofert contains both recombinant FSH and LH, offering a combined hormonal profile. Compared with urinary‑derived preparations that may contain variable LH activity, Meriofert provides a consistent, defined ratio of FSH to LH, similar to other recombinant products such as Gonal‑F (FSH only) or Menopur (FSH + LH). Choice depends on protocol, patient response and clinician preference.

Meriofert must be stored refrigerated at 2‑8 °C. Keep the vial in its original packaging, protect it from light, and avoid freezing or shaking. Once reconstituted, use according to the manufacturer’s stability guidelines and discard any unused portion after the recommended period.

Meriofert is supplied as a sterile powder for injection. After reconstitution with the appropriate diluent, it is administered by a trained healthcare professional via intramuscular or subcutaneous injection, typically in the abdominal wall or thigh, following the dosing schedule prescribed by the treating physician.

The most serious risks include ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), which can be severe and life‑threatening, multiple pregnancy, and rare allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis. Patients should be monitored closely for signs of abdominal distension, rapid weight gain, shortness of breath, or severe pain, and treatment should be adjusted promptly.

Meriofert is contraindicated in individuals with known hypersensitivity to any component of the product, active ovarian cysts, uncontrolled thyroid disease, severe ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, or in women who are already pregnant. Caution is also advised for patients with a history of thromboembolic disorders.
