Contraindications
Pregnancy Category X. Studies in animals or human beings have demonstrated foetal abnormalities or there is evidence of foetal risk based on human experience or both, and the risk of the use of the drug in pregnant women clearly outweighs any possible benefit. The drug is contraindicated in women who are or may become pregnant. Use in lactation: It must not be used during lactation
Side Effects
In pregnancies occurring after induction of ovulation with gonadotropic preparations, there is an increased risk of multiplets birth. Unwanted ovarianhyperstimulation: In patients treated for infertility due to anovulation or impaired follicular ripening, the prior administration of an FSH containing preparation may lead to unwanted ovarian hyperstimulation. Therefore ultrasonic assessment of follicular development and determinations nations of estrogen levels should be performed prior to FSH-treatment and at regular intervals during FSH-treatment. Estrogen levels may rise very rapidly, e.g. more than a daily doubling for two or three consecutive days, and possibly reach excessively high values. If this unwanted ovarian hyperstimulation occurs (i.e. not as part of a treatment preparing for IVF/ET or GIFT/ZIFT), the administration of the FSH-containing preparation should be discontinued immediately. In that case Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin must not be given, because the administration of an LH-active gonadotrophin at this stage may induce, in addition to multiple ovulations, the ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome. This warning is particularly important with respect to patients with polycystic ovarian disease. Clinical symptoms of mild ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome are gastro-intestinal problems (pain, nausea, diarrhoea), painful breasts, and mild to moderate enlargement of ovaries and ovarian cysts. In rare cases severe ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome occurs, which may be life-threatening. This is characterized by large ovarian cysts (prone to rupture), ascites, often hydrothorax and occasionally
Pregnancy And Lactation
