MENOPUR 75 IU

Menopur 75 IU (SubQ) – Affordable Menotropins for IVF Treatment

What Is Menopur 75 IU?

Menopur 75 IU contains menotropins — a combination of FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone) and LH (luteinizing hormone) — that work together to stimulate your ovaries during IVF. Each vial delivers precise hormone dosing to support follicle development. It’s one of the most widely prescribed IVF medications in the US, commonly used at major clinics like Shady Grove and Kindbody.

It comes as a powder that you mix with sterile water before injecting. Because menopur 75 iu delivers both FSH and LH in a single shot, it’s especially popular in protocols where LH activity is needed alongside FSH stimulation.

How Does Menopur 75 IU Work?

Menopur stimulates your ovaries to develop multiple follicles at once. The FSH drives follicle growth; the LH supports final egg maturation. This dual-hormone approach makes menopur 75 iu particularly useful for women who don’t respond well to FSH-only medications.

Your doctor will typically prescribe it alongside other IVF medications during stimulation. Treatment usually runs 8–12 days, with doses adjusted based on ultrasound monitoring and blood work. Most patients see follicle development within 5–7 days. To understand why clinics often combine it with FSH-only options, read our comparison of why clinics use Gonal-F and Menopur together.

How to Administer Menopur 75 IU

Menopur 75 IU is given as a subcutaneous injection — just under the skin — usually in the lower abdomen or thigh. Here’s what to expect:

• Mix the powder with the provided sterile water
• Draw the solution into your syringe
• Clean the injection site with alcohol
• Inject at a 45–90 degree angle
• Rotate injection sites to reduce bruising

Starting doses typically range from 75 IU to 225 IU daily, set by your doctor based on age, ovarian reserve, and previous cycle response. If you’re new to self-injecting, our guide to avoiding injection bruising has practical tips to make it easier.

How Much Does Menopur 75 IU Cost?

Menopur 75 IU costs significantly more at US pharmacies compared to European-sourced equivalents. Fast IVF sources authentic Menopur directly from licensed European manufacturers — so patients often save substantially per vial. Since most IVF protocols require multiple vials across an 8–12 day stimulation window, those savings add up quickly across a full cycle.

Storage and Handling

Store unopened vials at room temperature (up to 77°F), away from direct sunlight and moisture. Once mixed with sterile water, use the solution immediately — don’t store it after reconstitution.

Common Side Effects

Like most menotropin medications, Menopur can cause mild, temporary reactions:

• Injection site redness, swelling, or minor bruising
• Mild abdominal bloating or cramping
• Headaches
• Breast tenderness
• Mood changes

Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is rare but serious. Contact your doctor right away if you have severe abdominal pain, rapid weight gain, or trouble breathing. The American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) has detailed guidance on OHSS risk and management.

Who Should Not Use Menopur?

Do not use menopur 75 iu if you have primary ovarian failure, uncontrolled thyroid or adrenal problems, hormone-dependent cancers, unexplained vaginal bleeding, ovarian cysts (outside of PCOS), or are pregnant or suspect you may be.
