FOLICULIN HP 150I.U INJECTION belongs to the class of drugs called hormones used in the treatment of female infertility in women whose ovaries do not produce eggs and in women receiving treatments like IVF (in-vitro fertilization). 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 HP 150I.U INJECTION contains Urofollitropin which works similarly to follicle-stimulating hormone (natural sex hormone). FOLICULIN HP 150I.U INJECTION 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.

Female infertility: 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). The risk factors for infertility in females include smoking, heavy alcohol consumption, obesity, being underweight, increasing age, or having sexually transmitted infections. Also, certain medical conditions such as uterine fibroids, endometriosis, premature ovarian failure, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), hormonal imbalances, scarring from previous surgery, or pelvic inflammatory disease may cause infertility in females.
