Ovitrelle Solution for Injection is a sex hormone. In females, it helps in the release of eggs from the ovary. In males, it works by enhancing the production of testosterone which helps in treating conditions such as delayed puberty and low sperm count.
Quick Tips
Ovitrelle Solution for Injection is used together with another hormone called follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) for the treatment of infertility in women. In men, it is used to help treat delayed puberty, undescended testes, or oligospermia (low sperm count). It is given as an injection into a muscle or under the skin. 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. If your ovaries are overstimulated, you should not have sex or use barrier contraception for at least four days.
