Lutropinalfa

Clinical Use

Lutropin alfa is the first pure human LH preparation and is of rDNA origin. According to physicochemical and biological assays, it is indistinguishable from human LH of natural origin. It is indicated for use in infertile women who are undergoing ART, specifically those with severe LH deficiency. It is meant to be coadministered with follitropin alfa so as to stimulate follicular growth in these women. When the follicles are of correct size, as determined by ultrasound examination, hCG would be administered to stimulate ovulation.
