    G.03.G.A.02   Gonadotropin-menopausal

    Pharmacodynamics:

    Human menopausal gonadotropin, containing follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone in a ratio of 1: 1, has a gonadotropic effect. Increases the concentration of sex hormones in the blood plasma. In men, it induces spermatogenesis, affecting Sertoli cells. In women, before the pre-ovulatory stage, it stimulates the maturation of follicles in the ovaries, activates the proliferation of the endometrium, increasing the level of estrogens.

    Pharmacokinetics:

    After intramuscular injection, the maximum concentration in the blood plasma is reached after 6-24 hours.

    Metabolism in the liver.

    The half-life is 4-12 hours. Elimination by the kidneys.

    Indications:

    It is used for impaired fertility due to inadequate endogenous stimulation of gonads, for the treatment of female infertility as a result of anovulation, with disturbances in the maturation of the follicle with insufficient function of the yellow body.It is used for the purpose of controlled hyperstimulation for the purpose of assisted reproduction, in some cases in case of insufficiency of spermatogenesis.

    Increased side effects.
