How it works
Menotas XP 1200IU Injection is a mixture of hormones. In females, it works by facilitating the maturation of follicles (which contain eggs) in the ovaries. This helps treat female infertility due to improper egg production (anovulatory infertility). In males, it works by increasing the low sperm count.
Quick Tips
Menotas XP 1200IU Injection stimulates the production of eggs in women undergoing treatment for infertility. It may also be used to stimulate sperm formation in men. Your doctor may prescribe more than one medicine as part of your suggested pregnancy plan. Pregnancy following treatment with Menotas XP 1200IU Injection is more likely to result in a multiple pregnancy (twins or more) than if you had conceived naturally. 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 Menotas XP 1200IU Injection if you are already pregnant or breastfeeding.
