Meriofert, a fertility medication: uses, benefits, and everything you need to know.

When it comes to fertility treatments, Meriofert is one of the medications commonly used in assisted reproduction clinics. But what exactly is this medication, and why is it so valued in treatments to help form a family?

Meriofert contains a hormone called FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone), which is essential in reproductive processes. In women, this hormone stimulates the ovaries to develop and mature eggs, while in men, it can help improve sperm production.

If you want to know how Meriofert works, what it is indicated for, and what its alternatives are, here we explain everything clearly and simply.

What is Meriofert used for?

Meriofert is a medication designed to treat fertility issues, primarily in women, although it also has applications in men. Its purpose is to stimulate reproductive functions that do not occur naturally or adequately.

In women:

Meriofert is used to stimulate the ovaries and promote the development of ovarian follicles, which are the structures where eggs are formed. It is especially useful for women with difficulty ovulating, whether due to conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or ovulatory failure.

Furthermore, Meriofert is a key medication in assisted reproduction treatments, such as:

- Intrauterine insemination (IUI): to ensure the presence of a mature egg at the time of insemination.

- In vitro fertilization (IVF): to stimulate the growth of multiple ovarian follicles, which will then be extracted for fertilization in the lab.

In men:

Although its use is less common in men, Meriofert can also be indicated to treat certain types of male infertility, especially when FSH levels are low. In these cases, the medication stimulates sperm production, increasing the chances of conception.

How does Meriofert work?

The active ingredient in Meriofert is recombinant FSH, a synthetic hormone that works just like the natural FSH in the body. In women, Meriofert sends a signal to the ovaries to actively work on the maturation of the eggs. In men, it stimulates the testicular cells that produce sperm.

The most important thing is that this medication allows fertility specialists to precisely control the body's response, which is essential in assisted treatments.

When is Meriofert prescribed?

Meriofert should only be used under medical supervision, as each case requires a personalized approach.

In women:

- Ovulation disorders such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

- Controlled ovarian stimulation in assisted reproduction treatments (IVF, IUI).

- Patients with a low response to other medications that only contain FSH.

In men:

-Male infertility associated with low FSH levels.

How is Meriofert administered?

Meriofert is administered through subcutaneous injections, usually in the abdomen. The dose and duration of the treatment depend on each patient and the therapeutic goal. During the process, frequent checks are made with hormonal analyses and ultrasounds to adjust the dose and evaluate the ovarian or testicular response.

It is important to note that the incorrect use of Meriofert may cause side effects such as:

- Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (in women).

- Pain or irritation at the injection site.

- Hormonal changes that may cause discomfort.

For this reason, it should never be used without the supervision and guidance of a fertility specialist.

Alternatives to Meriofert:

In fertility treatments, there are several medications similar to Meriofert, which contain recombinant FSH or other hormonal combinations, including:

- Gonal-F: Very similar to Meriofert, it contains recombinant FSH and is one of the most commonly used in fertility treatments. The differences lie in the manufacturing process and some formulations.

- Puregon: Also contains recombinant FSH, with molecular characteristics that may influence patient tolerance.

- Menopur: Combines FSH and LH (luteinizing hormone), ideal when dual stimulation is needed for better results.

The choice between these medications will depend on the specific condition of each patient and the strategy designed by the medical team.

Key aspects.

✅ Personalized treatment: Meriofert should be tailored to the specific needs of each person.

✅ Medical supervision: Monitoring is essential to ensure effectiveness and minimize risks.

✅ Not a miracle solution: It is part of a comprehensive fertility treatment plan.

Conclusion.

Meriofert is a key medication in fertility treatments, helping both women and men increase their chances of conceiving. Its action on follicle-stimulating hormone allows effective control in ovarian maturation and sperm production processes.

However, like any hormonal treatment, it should always be used under the supervision of a fertility specialist to maximize benefits and reduce risks.

If you're considering treatment with Meriofert or have concerns about your fertility, don't hesitate to consult experts. In your trusted clinic, the medical team will be able to offer you a personalized plan that fits your needs and goals.
