Meriofert (Luteinising Hormone (Human), Follicle-Stimulating Hormone)

Luteinising hormone (human), Follicle‑stimulating hormone, the active ingredient in Meriofert, is a gonadotropin presented as an injectable solution for intramuscular or subcutaneous use. It is employed in assisted reproductive protocols to address infertility caused by anovulation, to stimulate controlled ovarian stimulation, and to treat male hypogonadotropic hypogonadism.

GNH India supplies Meriofert as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, fertility clinics and procurement teams worldwide. The company adheres to stringent quality standards and provides full regulatory documentation to support global distribution and import compliance.

Indications & Clinical Uses

Meriofert, a gonadotropin used in reproductive endocrinology, is indicated for several infertility‑related conditions.

  • Infertility due to anovulation: facilitates follicular development and ovulation to improve chances of conception.
  • Controlled ovarian stimulation: supports multiple follicle growth for in‑vitro fertilisation cycles.
  • Male hypogonadotropic hypogonadism: stimulates endogenous testosterone production and spermatogenesis.
  • Assisted reproductive technology cycles: used in combination protocols to optimise oocyte retrieval and embryo quality.

How It Works

  • Meriofert contains recombinant human luteinising hormone (LH) and follicle‑stimulating hormone (FSH). Both hormones bind to their respective G‑protein‑coupled receptors on ovarian or testicular gonadal cells. LH activation promotes steroidogenesis, leading to estrogen and progesterone synthesis, while FSH stimulates granulosa‑cell proliferation and gamete maturation. The combined action significantly enhances overall follicular development in females and testosterone production and spermatogenesis in males.

Side Effects

Adverse reactions reported with Meriofert are related to its hormonal activity and injection site.

Common Side Effects

  • Injection site pain: mild discomfort or erythema at the injection site.
  • Headache: transient headache occurring after administration.
  • Nausea: mild gastrointestinal upset.
  • Abdominal bloating: sensation of fullness or mild distension.
  • Ovarian hyperstimulation symptoms: mild abdominal discomfort, mild weight gain.

Serious or Rare Side Effects

  • Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS): severe abdominal pain, ascites, thromboembolism.
  • Multiple pregnancy: increased risk of twins or higher‑order gestations.
  • Allergic reaction: rash, urticaria, or anaphylaxis.
  • Thromboembolic events: deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism.
  • Ectopic pregnancy: implantation outside the uterus.

Precautions & Warnings

When using Meriofert, careful monitoring and patient assessment are essential.

  • Pregnancy testing: confirm absence of pregnancy before initiating therapy.
  • Monitor ovarian response: use ultrasound to assess follicular growth.
  • Thromboembolic risk: evaluate patient history of clotting disorders.
  • Allergy assessment: screen for hypersensitivity to gonadotropins.
  • Dosage adjustment: modify based on hormonal monitoring and clinical response.
  • Store at 2-8°C: keep refrigerated, protect from light, do not freeze or shake.

Avoid Interactions

Meriofert may interact with other medications that affect hormonal pathways or coagulation.

Major Interactions (Avoid)

  • GnRH antagonists: may blunt the effect of LH/FSH.
  • High‑estrogen contraceptives: can interfere with intended ovarian stimulation.
  • Anticoagulants: increased risk of bleeding at the injection site.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely)

  • Thyroid hormone therapy: may affect metabolic clearance of gonadotropins.
  • Steroid hormones: may alter response to LH/FSH.
  • Diabetes medications: monitor glucose as hormonal changes can affect metabolism.

Frequently Asked Questions

Meriofert is a gonadotropin preparation that contains luteinising hormone (LH) and follicle‑stimulating hormone (FSH). It is used to treat infertility caused by anovulation, to support controlled ovarian stimulation in assisted reproductive technology cycles, and to manage male hypogonadotropic hypogonadism by stimulating testosterone production and spermatogenesis.

The LH component binds to LH receptors on theca cells, stimulating steroidogenesis and the production of estrogen and progesterone. The FSH component binds to FSH receptors on granulosa cells, promoting follicular growth, maturation of oocytes, and, in males, supporting Sertoli‑cell function for sperm development. Together they coordinate the hormonal cascade required for gamete maturation.

The dose of Meriofert is individualized and set by the prescribing clinician based on the patient’s hormonal profile, treatment protocol and response to therapy. Dosing regimens can vary widely between fertility centres and are adjusted according to ultrasound monitoring and serum hormone levels.

Meriofert is not indicated for use during an established pregnancy and should be discontinued once pregnancy is confirmed. Its safety in breastfeeding has not been established, and clinicians typically advise against use while nursing. Women of child‑bearing potential should use effective contraception until treatment is completed and pregnancy is excluded.

To order Meriofert, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnhindia.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH India supplies hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide. After the request, the sales team will verify trade or institutional credentials, then provide pricing, availability, shipping details (including cold‑chain logistics if required) and any necessary import documentation.

Meriofert combines both LH and FSH in a single injectable, whereas many alternatives provide only recombinant FSH or urinary‑derived gonadotropins. The combined formulation can simplify dosing schedules and more closely mimic natural pituitary output, which may be advantageous in certain stimulation protocols. However, choice of product depends on individual patient response, clinic preference and cost considerations.

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 the solution. If the product is removed from refrigeration for a short period during administration, it should be returned to the cold chain promptly and used within the time frame specified by the manufacturer.

Meriofert is administered by injection, either intramuscularly or subcutaneously, according to the prescribing clinician’s instructions. The injection is typically performed in a clinical setting using aseptic technique. The exact site, volume and frequency depend on the treatment protocol and are tailored to the patient’s response monitored through ultrasound and hormone assays.

The most serious risks include ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), which can cause severe abdominal pain, fluid accumulation and thromboembolic complications; multiple pregnancy, which raises obstetric risks; and rare but severe allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis. Patients should be monitored closely for signs of these conditions, and treatment should be adjusted or discontinued if they occur.

Meriofert is contraindicated in women who are already pregnant, have known hypersensitivity to any component of the product, or have uncontrolled ovarian cysts or severe ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome. It should also be used with caution in patients with a history of thromboembolic disease, estrogen‑dependent tumors, or severe liver disease. The prescribing clinician must evaluate each patient’s medical history before initiating therapy.
