Ovulation induction: IM or SC admin: Initiate with 75 IU daily for up to 14 days, may increase by 37.5 IU at wkly intervals. Once follicular growth or serum estradiol levels indicates an adequate response, administer a single dose of hCG (5,000-10,000 IU) after the last dose to induce ovulation. Withhold hCG if the ovaries are abnormally enlarged or if abdominal pain occurs. Max: 300 IU/day.Assisted reproductive technologies: IM or SC admin: 150-225 IU /day for at least 1st 4 days of treatment. Adjust dose based on individual ovarian response. Usual maintenance dose: 75-300 IU for 6-12 days; 375-600 IU for poor responders. Max (clinical studies): 600 IU/day. Upon adequate follicular development, a single dose of hCG (5,000-10,000 IU) is administered for final oocyte maturation. Oocyte retrieval can be done 34-36 hr later.

May lead to OHSS and multiple gestations.
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.
May result in multiple births. Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), serious pulmonary conditions and thromboembolic events may occur. Evaluate patients for hypothyroidism, adrenocortical deficiency, hyperprolactinaemia, pituitary and hypothalamic tumors before starting therapy.
