What is Luteinising Hormone (Human), Follicle-Stimulating Hormone?

Luteinising hormone (human) and Follicle‑stimulating hormone (human), the active ingredient in Meriofert Set, is a gonadotropin presented as a sterile injectable solution for intramuscular or subcutaneous use. It is employed to stimulate ovarian follicular development and support luteal phase function in individuals undergoing infertility treatment.

GNH USA supplies Meriofert Set as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, pharmacies and clinics worldwide. The product complies with European Union manufacturing standards and is distributed under strict quality controls through a validated cold‑chain logistics network.

What is Luteinising Hormone (Human), Follicle-Stimulating Hormone used for?

Meriofert Set, containing human luteinising hormone and follicle‑stimulating hormone, is used in reproductive medicine to address hormone‑dependent infertility.

- Ovulation induction: promotes follicular growth and ovulation in women with anovulatory infertility. - Controlled ovarian hyperstimulation: supports multiple follicle development during in‑vitro fertilisation cycles. - Male hypogonadotropic hypogonadism: stimulates spermatogenesis in men with deficient gonadotropin production. - Luteal phase support: enhances corpus luteum function to improve implantation rates in assisted reproduction.

What are the side effects of Luteinising Hormone (Human), Follicle-Stimulating Hormone?

Adverse reactions to Meriofert Set are reported primarily at the injection site and through systemic hormonal effects.

Common Side Effects: - Injection site pain: mild discomfort or tenderness at the administration site. - Local erythema: redness around the injection area. - Headache: transient mild to moderate headache. - Nausea: occasional feeling of nausea without vomiting. - Ovarian hyperstimulation symptoms: abdominal bloating and mild pelvic discomfort. - Fatigue: feeling of tiredness or low energy.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS): severe abdominal pain, rapid weight gain, and fluid accumulation. - Thromboembolic events: rare blood clot formation. - Allergic reaction: rash, itching, or anaphylaxis. - Severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis): difficulty breathing, swelling of face or throat. - Ectopic pregnancy: increased risk in assisted reproduction cycles. - Sepsis: systemic infection related to injection site.

What precautions apply to Luteinising Hormone (Human), Follicle-Stimulating Hormone?

When using Meriofert Set, clinicians should observe specific precautions to minimise risks and ensure product integrity.

- Indication verification: confirm diagnosis of gonadotropin‑dependent infertility before administration. - Hormone monitoring: regularly assess serum estradiol and testosterone levels during therapy. - OHSS risk assessment: evaluate patient history and ovarian response to avoid severe hyperstimulation. - Contraindications: avoid use in known hypersensitivity to human gonadotropins or active components. - Pregnancy status: discontinue if pregnancy is confirmed unless specifically indicated. - Store at 2-8°C: keep refrigerated, protect from light, do not freeze or shake.

What does Luteinising Hormone (Human), Follicle-Stimulating Hormone interact with?

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

Major Interactions (Avoid): - GnRH antagonists: may blunt the intended gonadotropin response. - Anticoagulants: increased risk of bleeding at injection sites. - High‑dose estrogen therapy: can alter FSH/LH activity and reduce efficacy.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Oral contraceptives: may require washout period before initiating therapy. - Thyroid hormone replacement: monitor thyroid function as gonadotropins can affect metabolism. - Steroid hormones: adjust dosing if concurrent anabolic or corticosteroid therapy is used.

Frequently asked questions

What is Meriofert Set used for?+
Meriofert Set is a combination of human luteinising hormone and follicle‑stimulating hormone used to treat infertility. It helps induce ovulation in women, supports controlled ovarian hyperstimulation for assisted reproductive techniques, and stimulates spermatogenesis in men with gonadotropin‑dependent hypogonadism.
How does luteinising hormone and follicle‑stimulating hormone work?+
Both hormones bind to specific G‑protein‑coupled receptors on gonadal cells. LH triggers androgen production and luteinisation, while FSH promotes follicular growth, estradiol synthesis, and spermatogenic activity. Their combined action restores the hormonal environment needed for gamete development and successful conception.
What is the usual dose of Meriofert Set?+
Dosing of Meriofert Set is individualized. The prescribing clinician determines the amount, frequency, and duration based on the patient’s diagnosis, response to therapy, and monitoring results. No fixed regimen can be provided without a medical prescription.
Is Meriofert Set safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Meriofert Set is intended for use before pregnancy to achieve conception. It is not recommended for continued use during an established pregnancy unless specifically indicated. Safety during breastfeeding has not been established, so clinicians usually advise against its use while nursing.
How do I order Meriofert Set from GNH USA?+
To order, submit an enquiry on the Meriofert Set product page at gnh-usa.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH USA 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 required import documentation.
How does Meriofert Set compare with other gonadotropin products?+
Meriofert Set provides both LH and FSH in a single formulation, whereas some alternatives (e.g., menotropins) contain a mixture of gonadotropins derived from urinary sources. Recombinant preparations may offer higher purity and consistency. Choice depends on clinical protocol, patient response, and cost considerations.
What are the storage and handling requirements for Meriofert Set?+
The product must be stored at 2‑8 °C in a refrigerator, protected from light. It should not be frozen or shaken. Once removed from refrigeration, use within the time frame specified by the manufacturer and keep the vial in its original packaging to maintain sterility.
How is Meriofert Set administered?+
Meriofert Set is supplied as a sterile solution for injection. It is administered by a trained healthcare professional either intramuscularly or subcutaneously, according to the prescribed dose and schedule. Proper aseptic technique and site rotation are recommended to minimise local reactions.
What are the most serious risks associated with Meriofert Set?+
Serious risks include ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) in women, which can lead to severe abdominal pain, rapid weight gain and fluid accumulation, and rare thromboembolic events. Allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis, and ectopic pregnancy are also important safety concerns that require prompt medical attention.
Who should not use Meriofert Set?+
Meriofert Set is contraindicated in individuals with known hypersensitivity to human gonadotropins or any excipients, in patients with active ovarian cysts, uncontrolled thyroid disease, or severe ovarian hyperstimulation risk. It should also be avoided in pregnant women unless specifically prescribed for a particular indication.
