Meriofert Uses & Indications:
Meriofert helps treat fertility problems. Meriofert is a medication containing follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) needed for healthy ovaries to produce eggs. Menopur is normally used in combination with an HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin-hCG) drug. It helps women who are trying to conceive but are having fertility issues by bringing about the growth and release of a mature egg (ovulation).
