How it works
Folisurge 1200 Injection is a hormone. In females, it works by stimulating the release of estrogen which helps in the growth and development of the egg before release. In males, it helps in the production of sperms.
Quick Tips
It may also be used to stimulate sperm formation in men. The injection is administered under the skin. Follow the recommended dosage and monitoring schedules to minimise the possibility of ovarian hyperstimulation. Inform your doctor immediately if you have severe pelvic pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, sudden weight gain, trouble breathing, or decreased or no urination during treatment, as these could be symptoms of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). Do not use Folisurge 1200 Injection if you are already pregnant or breastfeeding. Folisure 1200 Injection stimulates the production of eggs in women undergoing treatment for infertility. Pregnancy following treatment with Folisurge 1200 Injection is more likely to result in a multiple pregnancy (twins or more).
