Introduction
Reprogon 75IU Injection is given as an injection under the supervision of a doctor. Your doctor will decide the right time to take the injection so always follow your doctor's advice.

Directions for Use
Your doctor or nurse will give you this medicine. Kindly do not self-administer.
How it works
Reprogon 75IU 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
Reprogon 75IU 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 Reprogon 75IU 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.
