About FOLICULIN INJECTION 150 IU

Infertility is unable to become pregnant after trying for a year. Female infertility may be caused due to different factors affecting ovulation (release of an egg from the ovary), fertilization (fusion of sperm and egg) and implantation (fertilized egg attaches to uterus lining).

FOLICULIN INJECTION 150 IU contains Urofollitropin which works similarly to follicle-stimulating hormone (natural sex hormone). FOLICULIN INJECTION 150 IU increases oestrogen production that stimulates the development of the egg and mature follicle in women having ovulation (release of an egg from the ovary) problems and those undergoing IVF treatments.
