Uses of Grafia R Injection

Benefits of Grafia R Injection

In Female infertility

Grafia R 150IU Injection helps in normal development of an egg in a woman's ovary (female reproductive organ), and stimulates the release of a healthy, matured egg. This helps to treat infertility in women and increases the chance of a successful pregnancy. It is given as an injection by a doctor or nurse and should not be self-administered. You should use the medicine as prescribed for it to be effective.

In Male hypogonadism

Male Hypogonadism is the improper functioning of reproductive organs, that is, testes in males, which causes failure to produce sex hormones required for fertility. Grafia R 150IU Injection acts as the male sex hormone, testosterone and therefore, improves sperm production in males. This can reduce infertility and helps to treat hypogonadism in males. Follow your doctor’s instructions carefully to get the most benefit.

FAQs

What is Grafia R 150IU Injection and what it is used for?

Grafia R 150IU Injection contains Follitropin alfa which is a type of Follicle Stimulating Hormone produced naturally by the body. It is used in women who are unable to ovulate. It works by stimulating the growth of follicles (which contain eggs) in the ovary. This helps in the release of a properly developed egg at the time of ovulation. It is also used in assisted reproductive technology (ART) procedures such as in-vitro fertilization (IVF), which help women to become pregnant. It may also be used in adult men who are infertile due to lack of certain hormones and inability to produce enough sperm cells.

How and in what dose should I take Grafia R 150IU Injection?

Grafia R 150IU Injection is an injection given subcutaneously (just under the skin). The dose and treatment duration depend on the ovarian response of the patient.

What if I miss a dose of Grafia R 150IU Injection?

Ideally, you should try not to miss a dose of Grafia R 150IU Injection. However, please talk to your doctor as soon as you remember that you have missed a dose.

If any of these side effects bother you, please consult with your doctor.
