Details of purgeon and IVF preparation

Detailed Answer:
HI,

I can understand your concerns.

Puregon (Pure-regg-on) is a medicine which is used in female infertility and male infertility. Puregon contains follitropin beta.

Follitropin beta belongs to the class of medications called gonadotropins. Follitropin beta contains a hormone similar to the human hormone called follicle stimulating hormone (FSH). Follitropin beta is used as a fertility medication in both women and men.

In women, it is used when FSH levels are low or as part of assisted reproductive technology (ART) procedures such as in-vitro fertilization. Follitropin beta causes eggs to become mature and ready for release by the ovary. In men, follitropin beta helps increase sperm production.

Puregon is used in the treatment of infertility ALONE or as part of a programme of treatment in assisted reproduction.

Its always recommended to take the injections in the evening time - usually between 5 & 8 and to take them at roughly the same time everyday.

The reason for the evening time is so that they can measure their full effect when you're in for a scan - which are always in the morning time.

The injections themselves are easy enough and you barely feel them, the needle is so fine.

Store this medication in the refrigerator at 2°C to 8°C (do not freeze). It can also be stored at room temperature (below 25°C) for a maximum of 3 months. Protect it from light, and keep it out of the reach of children. Once the cartridges have been punctured by a needle, store for a maximum of 28 days.

ABOUT IVF:

In vitro fertilisation or fertilization (IVF) is a process by which an egg is fertilised by sperm outside the body: in vitro ("in glass"). The process involves monitoring and stimulating a woman's ovulatory process, removing ovum or ova (egg or eggs) from the woman's ovaries and letting sperm fertilise them in a liquid in a laboratory. The fertilised egg (zygote) is cultured for 2–6 days in a growth medium and is then implanted in the same or another woman's uterus, with the intention of establishing a successful pregnancy.
