What is Gonal F 450 IU Pen?
Gonal F 450 IU contains follitropin alfa, a synthetic version of FSH that your body naturally produces. The 450 IU pen is designed for patients requiring moderate to high FSH dosing during their IVF protocol. Each pen delivers up to 450 IU total, allowing for flexible dosing based on your doctor’s prescription.
Key Features of the 450 IU Pen
- Pre-filled multi-dose pen for easy self-administration
- Delivers precise doses from 12.5 IU to 450 IU
- Convenient subcutaneous injection
- European-manufactured quality
- Refrigerated shipping included
How Does Gonal F 450 Work?
The follitropin alfa injection in Gonal F 450 IU Pen works by mimicking your natural FSH hormone. It stimulates your ovaries to develop multiple follicles instead of the single egg your body typically produces each month. This gives your fertility clinic more eggs to work with during retrieval, improving your chances of IVF success.
Your doctor will monitor your response with blood tests and ultrasounds. They’ll adjust your dosage as needed throughout your stimulation cycle.
Gonal F 450 vs Other Dosages
Fast IVF offers Gonal F in three pen strengths:
- Gonal F 300 IU Pen – Best for lower-dose protocols
- Gonal F 450 IU Pen – Ideal for moderate to high-dose needs
- Gonal F 900 IU Pen – Designed for high-dose or longer cycles
Many doctors prescribe the 450 IU pen because it provides enough medication for a standard stimulation cycle. Your fertility specialist determines which strength works best for your treatment plan.
How to Use Gonal F 450 IU Pen
Administration:
- Inject subcutaneously in your lower abdomen
- Rotate injection sites to prevent bruising

Gonal F 450 IU prices vary significantly between pharmacies. Fast IVF offers competitive international pricing on European-sourced Gonal F. Contact us for a personalized quote based on your prescription. Most patients save 40-60% compared to US retail prices.
Is Gonal F 450 the same as other FSH medications?
Gonal F contains follitropin alfa, which is similar to other FSH products like Follistim. Both are recombinant FSH medications that work identically. Your doctor may prescribe one over the other based on availability, cost, or personal preference. The 450 IU pen format is unique to Gonal F.
Can I travel with Gonal F 450 IU Pen?
Yes. Keep your Gonal F 450 in a small cooler with ice packs when traveling. Carry your prescription and a doctor’s letter explaining your IVF treatment. Most airlines allow you to bring medications and syringes in carry-on luggage. Dont check refrigerated medications in baggage.
What if I miss a dose?
Contact your fertility clinic immediately if you miss a Gonal F 450 injection. Dont double your next dose without doctor approval. Missing one dose may affect your follicle development timing. Your clinic will advise whether to continue as scheduled or adjust your protocol.
How do I know if Gonal F is working?
Your doctor monitors your response through blood tests (estradiol levels) and ultrasounds (follicle size and count). Most women see follicles growing within 5-7 days of starting Gonal F. Your dosage may be adjusted based on how your ovaries respond. Learn more about common IVF side effects during stimulation.
Can I use Gonal F 450 for IUI treatment?
Yes, but typically at lower doses than IVF. For IUI (intrauterine insemination), doctors usually prescribe 50-150 IU daily to develop 1-3 follicles. The 450 IU pen can be used for multiple IUI cycles. Your doctor will determine the right dose for your IUI treatment plan.
