Introduction: A Cornerstone of Assisted Reproductive Technology
In the precise and hopeful world of fertility treatment, the quality and reliability of medication are paramount. GenLabs presents its rigorously manufactured HMG (Human Menopausal Gonadotropin) 75IU, a fundamental gonadotropin preparation used in controlled ovarian stimulation (COS). This product stands as a testament to GenLabs' commitment to excellence in reproductive endocrinology, offering clinicians and patients a trusted, effective tool to support follicular development in a variety of assisted reproductive technology (ART) cycles.
Unlike recombinant products containing only Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH), HMG is a unique and naturally derived compound. It is extracted from the urine of postmenopausal women and contains a biologically active blend of both FSH (75 IU) and Luteinizing Hormone (LH) activity (approximately 75 IU). This dual-hormone action mirrors the body's natural physiology, making it a particularly valuable agent in specific patient profiles and treatment protocols.
What is HMG (Human Menopausal Gonadotropin)?
Human Menopausal Gonadotropin is a glycoprotein hormone preparation that directly stimulates ovarian function. In a natural menstrual cycle, FSH promotes the growth and maturation of ovarian follicles, while LH is crucial for final follicular maturation, ovulation, and the support of corpus luteum function. GenLabs HMG 75IU provides exogenous (externally supplied) forms of these hormones, allowing fertility specialists to override the body's natural cycle and induce the controlled development of multiple follicles. This multi-follicular development is essential for procedures such as In Vitro Fertilization (IVF), where several eggs are retrieved to increase the chances of successful fertilization and embryo transfer.
Key Features and Benefits of GenLabs HMG 75IU
Dual Hormone Activity: The inclusion of both FSH and LH is a defining benefit. LH plays a critical role in steroidogenesis—the production of essential hormones like estrogen. For certain patients, particularly those with very low endogenous LH levels (e.g., some cases of hypogonadotropic hypogonadism), supplementation with LH activity via HMG can lead to improved endometrial receptivity, higher-quality oocytes (eggs), and better clinical outcomes compared to FSH-only regimens.
High Purity & Consistency: GenLabs employs advanced purification techniques to produce a highly purified HMG preparation. This minimizes the presence of urinary proteins and other contaminants, reducing the potential for local irritation or immunological reactions and ensuring consistent, predictable biological activity from vial to vial.
Complete Treatment Package: Each package includes not only the lyophilized (freeze-dried) HMG 75IU powder but also a dedicated ampoule of Bacteriostatic Water for injection. Bacteriostatic Water contains a small amount of benzyl alcohol (0.9%) that inhibits bacterial growth in a multi-dose vial after reconstitution, allowing for safe and flexible dosing over a period of time when used as directed.
Precise Dosing & Flexibility: Presented in a multi-dose vial format after reconstitution, GenLabs HMG allows for tailored, patient-specific dosing. Fertility specialists can adjust the daily dosage based on ultrasound monitoring and serum estradiol levels, enabling a personalized approach to ovarian stimulation for optimal follicular response while mitigating risks like Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS).
Proven Efficacy in ART: Decades of clinical use have established HMG as a workhorse in fertility clinics worldwide. It is effective for inducing ovulation in anovulatory women (where other treatments have failed) and is a core medication in protocols for IVF, Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI), and ovulation induction for timed intercourse or Intrauterine Insemination (IUI).
Indications and Clinical Use
GenLabs HMG 75IU is prescribed for the following medical indications under the supervision of a qualified fertility specialist:
Ovulation Induction: For anovulatory or oligo-ovulatory women (e.g., with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome - PCOS) who have not responded adequately to first-line treatments like clomiphene citrate.
Controlled Ovarian Stimulation for ART: As the primary stimulatory medication in IVF, ICSI, and other egg retrieval cycles to develop multiple mature follicles.
Stimulation of Spermatogenesis: In rare cases, it may be used in men with hypogonadotropic hypogonadism to stimulate sperm production, though this is less common.
Administration and Reconstitution: A Step-by-Step Guide
Important: This is a general guide. Always follow the specific instructions provided by your physician or fertility clinic.
Gather Supplies: One vial of GenLabs HMG 75IU powder, one ampoule of provided Bacteriostatic Water, sterile syringes, alcohol swabs.
Reconstitution: Using a sterile syringe, draw the appropriate amount of Bacteriostatic Water (as directed by your doctor—typically 1ml for full reconstitution of the 75IU vial). Gently inject the diluent into the HMG powder vial, aiming the stream against the glass wall to avoid forceful agitation.
Mixing: Roll the vial gently between your palms. Do not shake vigorously, as this can denature the delicate protein hormones. The powder should dissolve completely into a clear solution.
Withdrawal and Injection: After reconstitution, the solution is drawn into a sterile insulin syringe (e.g., 0.5ml or 1ml syringe with fine gauge needle). The injection is typically administered subcutaneously (into the fatty tissue of the abdomen or thigh). Rotate injection sites daily.
Important Safety Information and Warnings
Prescription Only: GenLabs HMG 75IU is a potent prescription medication and must only be used under the direct guidance and monitoring of a qualified fertility specialist.
Monitoring is Critical: Treatment requires close monitoring via transvaginal ultrasound and blood tests (estradiol levels) to track follicular growth and adjust dosage, thereby reducing the risks of OHSS and multiple pregnancies.
Contraindications: HMG is contraindicated in cases of primary ovarian failure, uncontrolled thyroid or adrenal dysfunction, pituitary tumors, abnormal uterine bleeding of unknown origin, ovarian cysts or enlargement not due to PCOS, and pregnancy.
Potential Side Effects: Common side effects may include injection site reactions, headache, abdominal pain or bloating, and mood swings. More serious risks include OHSS (characterized by severe pelvic pain, swelling, nausea, rapid weight gain, and shortness of breath) and the possibility of multiple pregnancies. Seek immediate medical attention if symptoms of severe OHSS occur.
Storage: Store unopened vials in a refrigerator between 2°C and 8°C (36°F - 46°F). Do not freeze. After reconstitution, the multi-dose vial can be stored refrigerated for up to 30 days as per the bacteriostatic water's properties, though clinic protocols may advise shorter use periods.
