How it works
Puregraf 150IU HP 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
Puregraf 150IU HP Injection stimulates the production of eggs in women undergoing treatment for infertility. It may also be used to stimulate sperm formation in men. Pregnancy following treatment with Puregraf 150IU HP 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.
