Indications & Clinical Uses

Meriofert, a gonadotropin used in reproductive endocrinology, is indicated for the following conditions:

  • Infertility due to anovulation: supports follicular growth and ovulation in women who do not ovulate spontaneously.
  • Assisted reproductive technology (ART) protocols: provides controlled ovarian stimulation for in‑vitro fertilisation cycles.
  • Controlled ovarian hyperstimulation for IVF: enhances multiple follicle development to increase oocyte retrieval.

How It Works

  • Meriofert contains human luteinising hormone and follicle‑stimulating hormone which bind to LH and FSH receptors on ovarian granulosa and theca cells. Activation of these receptors stimulates intracellular cyclic AMP pathways, promoting follicular maturation, estradiol synthesis, and the final ovulatory surge required for successful conception.

Side Effects

Meriofert may cause a range of adverse reactions. Monitoring and prompt reporting are recommended.

Common Side Effects

  • Injection site pain or erythema.
  • Mild abdominal discomfort.
  • Headache.
  • Nausea.
  • Transient swelling of ovaries.

Serious or Rare Side Effects

  • Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS).
  • Multiple pregnancy.
  • Severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis).
  • Ectopic pregnancy.
  • Thromboembolic events.

Precautions & Warnings

When using Meriofert, consider the following precautions:

  • Monitor ovarian response: perform serial ultrasound and estradiol measurements.
  • Assess OHSS risk: limit dose in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome or high baseline estradiol.
  • Avoid in hormone‑dependent tumors: contraindicated due to potential stimulation.
  • Use caution with thyroid disease: adjust concomitant thyroid medication as needed.
  • Store at 2‑8 °C: keep refrigerated, protect from light, do not freeze or shake.

Avoid Interactions

Potential drug interactions with Meriofert should be evaluated before therapy.

Major Interactions (Avoid)

  • GnRH antagonists: may blunt the intended ovarian response.
  • Oral contraceptives: suppress endogenous gonadotropins, reducing efficacy.
  • High‑dose estrogen therapy: can interfere with follicular development.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely)

  • Thyroid hormone replacement: may require dose adjustment during stimulation.
  • Glucocorticoids: can affect ovarian response, monitor estradiol levels.
  • Anticoagulants: observe for bleeding at injection sites.

Frequently Asked Questions

Meriofert is a gonadotropin preparation containing human luteinising hormone and follicle‑stimulating hormone. It is used to induce follicular development and ovulation in women with infertility due to anovulation and to support controlled ovarian stimulation in assisted reproductive technology cycles such as in‑vitro fertilisation.

The hormones in Meriofert bind to LH and FSH receptors on ovarian cells, activating intracellular cyclic AMP signaling. This promotes the growth and maturation of ovarian follicles, increases estradiol production, and triggers the ovulatory surge necessary for the release of a mature oocyte.

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. Dosing regimens are not standardized and should follow the prescribing physician’s instructions.

Meriofert is intended for use before conception to facilitate ovulation. Its safety in established pregnancy or while breastfeeding has not been established, and it is generally not recommended for use during these periods. Consultation with a healthcare professional is essential.

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 where required), and necessary import documentation.

Meriofert combines both LH and FSH activity, whereas some alternatives provide only FSH (e.g., recombinant FSH) or only LH. The dual activity can more closely mimic natural ovarian stimulation, potentially reducing the need for separate 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 and allow the solution to reach room temperature before administration, following aseptic technique.

Meriofert is supplied as a sterile injectable solution for intramuscular or subcutaneous injection. Administration is performed by a qualified healthcare professional using aseptic technique, typically in the thigh, buttock, or abdominal wall, according to the prescribed dosing schedule.

The most serious risks include ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), which can be severe and require hospitalization, multiple pregnancy, severe allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis, and rare thromboembolic events. Patients should be monitored closely for early signs of these complications.

Meriofert is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to human gonadotropins, active hormone‑dependent malignancies, uncontrolled thyroid disease, or severe ovarian cysts. It should also be avoided in women who are already pregnant or breastfeeding.
