About Foligraf 75 IU Injection

This injection is used for stimulating a follicle (egg). It develops and then matures when a woman’s ovaries can produce the follicle but the hormonal stimulation is insufficient for maturing it. The medication is also used for stimulating the development of several eggs in the case of in-vitro fertilization.

Also, it can be used in treating the production of sperm in men. However, it must be noted that the medication can be of no help if the ovaries are incapable of producing an egg or if the testes are not able to produce any sperm.
