Looking for affordable Meriofert 75 IU price? Fast IVF offers Meriofert 75 IU (also known as Repronex) at competitive rates from our licensed European pharmacy.

What is Meriofert 75 IU?

Meriofert is a purified human menopausal gonadotropin (HMG) manufactured by IBSA that contains both follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH). Like Menopur, Meriofert stimulates your ovaries to develop multiple follicles during IVF cycles. Many fertility clinics prescribe Meriofert as a cost-effective alternative to other HMG medications.

The key advantage of HMG medications like Meriofert is the natural LH component. While pure FSH medications like Gonal-F work well for many women, some patients – particularly those with low LH levels or poor ovarian reserve – respond better to the FSH+LH combination that Meriofert provides.

Meriofert vs Menopur: What’s the Difference?

Meriofert and Menopur are essentially the same medication – both are HMG products containing FSH and LH in similar ratios. The main differences are manufacturer (IBSA makes Meriofert, Ferring makes Menopur) and often price. Many patients choose Meriofert because Meriofert prices can be lower than Menopur, especially when ordering from European pharmacies.

Both medications work identically for IVF protocols, and your doctor can substitute one for the other based on availability and cost. If your prescription says Menopur but Meriofert offers better pricing, ask your fertility specialist about switching – they’re interchangeable.

Meriofert Dosage and Administration

Meriofert comes in 75 IU and 150 IU vials. Your fertility doctor will determine your dosage based on age, ovarian reserve testing, and response to previous cycles. Typical starting doses range from 75-225 IU daily, administered as a subcutaneous injection in your lower abdomen.

Administration guidelines:

• Mix powder with provided sterile water before injection
• Inject at the same time each day for consistency
• Treatment typically lasts 8-12 days
• Regular ultrasound and blood work monitor follicle development
• Often combined with GnRH antagonists like Cetrotide or Ganirelix

Your fertility pharmacy will provide detailed mixing and injection instructions. Most patients find the process straightforward after practicing a few times.

Common Side Effects

Meriofert side effects are similar to other ovarian stimulation medications. Most women experience mild injection site reactions (redness, bruising), bloating, breast tenderness, headaches, and mood changes. These symptoms typically resolve after stopping the medication.

More serious side effects like ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) require immediate medical attention. Contact your doctor if you experience severe abdominal pain, rapid weight gain, difficulty breathing, or decreased urination. Your clinic monitors you carefully throughout treatment to prevent OHSS.

Who Should Use Meriofert?

Meriofert is particularly beneficial for women with low LH levels, poor ovarian reserve, or those who haven’t responded well to pure FSH medications. It’s also commonly used in IUI cycles for controlled ovarian hyperstimulation.

Don’t use Meriofert if you have primary ovarian failure, are pregnant or breastfeeding, have uncontrolled thyroid or adrenal problems, hormone-dependent cancers, pituitary tumors, unexplained vaginal bleeding, or ovarian cysts unrelated to PCOS.

Is Meriofert the same as Repronex?

Yes, Meriofert and Repronex contain the same active ingredients (menotropins – FSH and LH) and work identically. They’re simply marketed under different brand names in different regions. Both are high-quality HMG medications suitable for IVF treatment.

Can I switch from Menopur to Meriofert mid-cycle?

Yes, because Meriofert and Menopur are essentially equivalent medications, most doctors will allow switching between them if needed due to supply issues or cost savings. However, always consult your fertility specialist before making any medication changes during your cycle.

Why do some doctors prefer HMG over pure FSH?

HMG medications like Meriofert contain both FSH and LH, which can benefit certain patients. Women with very low LH levels, poor ovarian reserve, or who are older may respond better to the natural LH in HMG. Some studies suggest HMG may improve egg quality in specific patient populations, though pure FSH works excellently for most women.
