What is Menotas 150 IU/ml Injection
Menotas 150 IU/ml Injection is primarily used to treat infertility in both women and men. In men, it is also effective in treating male hypogonadism (low testosterone levels) and also helps to increase low sperm count.
It contains Menotrophin as its active ingredient, which is key in stimulating reproductive functions. It combines Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) and Luteinizing Hormone (LH) and belongs to the Gonadotropin drug class. The product is manufactured by Intas Pharmaceuticals Ltd.
This injection is primarily prescribed to stimulate ovulation (an egg’s release from the ovary during the menstrual cycle) in women. This stimulation is generally seen in women who often experience infertility due to hormonal deficiencies. It also aids in developing multiple follicles during assisted reproductive procedures like in-vitro fertilization (IVF).
In women, it works by stimulating the ovaries to promote the maturation and growth of ovarian follicles. It mimics the body’s natural hormones as FSH helps the follicles grow, while LH supports their maturation and triggers the release of eggs.
In men, it stimulates the testes to increase the testosterone production. This action helps to improve the growth of sperm while improving overall fertility.
Menotas should only be administered under the supervision of a healthcare professional. If you miss a dose, consult your doctor immediately for further guidance. In case of overdose, you may get symptoms including abdominal pain, bloating, or signs of Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS). Seek medical attention immediately in that case. Always inform the doctor about all medications and supplements that you are taking to avoid potential complications.
