Meriofert (Follicle-Stimulating Hormone, Luteinising Hormone)

Follicle-Stimulating Hormone and Luteinising Hormone, the active ingredient in Meriofert, is a gonadotropin presented as an injectable solution for subcutaneous use. It stimulates ovarian follicular development and ovulation in women with infertility due to anovulation, controlled ovarian stimulation for assisted reproductive technology, and hypogonadotropic hypogonadism.

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

Indications & Clinical Uses

  • Meriofert is a gonadotropin used in reproductive medicine to stimulate ovarian function.
  • Infertility due to anovulation: Facilitates follicle growth and ovulation to improve chances of conception.
  • Controlled ovarian stimulation for assisted reproductive technology: Enables synchronized follicle development for egg retrieval.
  • Hypogonadotropic hypogonadism: Replaces deficient endogenous gonadotropins to restore normal ovarian activity.

How It Works

  • Meriofert’s follicle‑stimulating hormone and luteinising hormone bind to FSH and LH receptors on ovarian granulosa and theca cells, activating intracellular signaling pathways that increase estrogen synthesis, promote follicular maturation, and trigger ovulation, thereby supporting the reproductive cycle in women with gonadotropin deficiency or anovulation.

Side Effects

Common Side Effects

  • Injection site pain or erythema
  • Mild abdominal discomfort
  • Headache
  • Nausea
  • Transient ovarian hyperstimulation (mild)
  • Fluid retention

Serious or Rare Side Effects

  • Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (severe)
  • Multiple pregnancy
  • Thromboembolic events
  • Severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis)
  • Ovarian cyst formation
  • Acute abdominal pain requiring medical attention

Precautions & Warnings

Precautions should be observed when using Meriofert to ensure patient safety.

  • Pregnancy testing: Confirm non‑pregnant status before initiating therapy.
  • Monitor ovarian response: Use ultrasound and estradiol measurements to adjust dosing.
  • Avoid in uncontrolled thyroid disease: Thyroid dysfunction can alter treatment outcomes.
  • Caution with existing ovarian cysts: May increase risk of complications.
  • Assess for hypersensitivity: Discontinue if severe allergic reaction occurs.
  • Store at 2-8°C: Keep refrigerated, protect from light, do not freeze or shake.

Avoid Interactions

Potential drug interactions require careful management.

Major Interactions (Avoid)

  • GnRH agonists: May amplify ovarian response leading to severe hyperstimulation.
  • Concurrent use of other gonadotropins: Additive effect can cause overstimulation.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely)

  • Oral contraceptives: May blunt ovarian response, requiring dose adjustment.
  • Anticoagulants: Increased risk of bleeding at injection sites.
  • Thyroid hormone therapy: May affect overall hormonal balance and response.

Frequently Asked Questions

Meriofert contains a combination of follicle‑stimulating hormone and luteinising hormone and is indicated for treating infertility caused by anovulation, for controlled ovarian stimulation in assisted reproductive technology such as IVF, and for managing hypogonadotropic hypogonadism where endogenous gonadotropins are deficient.

The two hormones bind to specific receptors on ovarian cells, activating signaling pathways that increase estrogen production, promote the growth and maturation of ovarian follicles, and ultimately trigger ovulation. This restores the natural hormonal cascade needed for successful conception.

Dosing of Meriofert is individualized. The prescribing physician determines the amount and frequency based on the patient’s ovarian response, body weight, and treatment protocol, often adjusting the dose after monitoring ultrasound and hormone levels.

Meriofert is not intended for use during an established pregnancy, and its safety in breastfeeding has not been established. Women should be confirmed non‑pregnant before starting therapy, and breastfeeding decisions should be made in consultation with a healthcare professional.

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 necessary import documentation.

Meriofert combines both FSH and LH activity, whereas many alternatives provide only recombinant FSH. The dual action can more closely mimic natural ovarian stimulation, potentially reducing the need for additional LH supplementation in certain protocols.

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

Meriofert is given by subcutaneous injection, typically into the abdominal wall or thigh. The vial is reconstituted with the appropriate diluent if required, and the dose is administered using a sterile syringe according to the prescriber’s instructions.

The most serious risks include severe ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, which can cause abdominal pain, fluid accumulation, and electrolyte imbalance, as well as the possibility of multiple pregnancy and rare thromboembolic events. Prompt medical attention is required if any of these occur.

Meriofert is contraindicated in women who are already pregnant, have known hypersensitivity to the active ingredients, have active ovarian cysts, or have uncontrolled thyroid disease. It should also be used with caution in patients with a history of thromboembolic disorders.
