Gonal F 300iu Pre-filled Pen contains the active ingredient follitropin alfa, which is synthetic version of a natural sex hormone called follicle stimulating hormone (FSH). It is used in the treatment of infertility. FSH directly affects the ovaries in women and the testicles in men.
Gonal-F stimulates the production of eggs in women having treatment for infertility caused by problems with ovulation or by a severe deficiency of natural LH and FSH. It also stimulates sperm production in men who are infertile due to low hormone levels that have resulted in a low sperm count.
In adult women, GONAL-f is used:
• To help release an egg from the ovary (ovulation) in women that cannot ovulate and that did not respond to treatment with a medicine called “clomiphene citrate”.
• Together with another medicine called “lutropin alfa” (“Luteinising Hormone” or LH) to help release egg from the ovary (ovulation) in women that are not ovulating because their body is producing very little gonadotropins (FSH and LH).
• To help develop several follicles (each containing an egg) in women undergoing assisted reproductive technology procedures (procedures that may help you to become pregnant) such as “in vitro fertilisation”, “gamete intra-fallopian transfer” or “zygote intra-fallopian transfer”.
In adult men, GONAL-f is used:
• Together with another medicine called “human Chorionic Gonadotropin” (hCG) to help produce sperm in men that are infertile due to a low level of certain hormones.
