Foligraf 75Iu Injection belongs to a group of medicines called ‘fertility drugs' used to treat infertility. It belongs to the family of hormones called ‘gonadotropins’ that are involved in reproduction and fertility. When a woman cannot become pregnant within a year of trying, then the condition is called female infertility. If a woman gets pregnant but experiences miscarriages or stillbirths, it is also included in infertility.
Foligraf 75Iu Injection contains ‘Follitropin alfa’, which acts by developing and ripening several follicles (containing an egg) and inducing the ovulation procedure (releasing an egg from the ovary). An egg must be released from the ovary to get fertilised by a sperm cell to get pregnant. In infertile men, Foligraf 75Iu Injection is used along with other medicines to help produce sperm.
