Usage
The injection is used in the following cases:
Female fertility
Foligraf 75 IU Injection helps an egg usually develop in a woman's ovary (a female reproductive organ) and causes a healthy, mature egg to be released.
This helps treat infertility in women and makes them more likely to get pregnant.
A doctor or nurse gives it as an injection, and you shouldn't give it to yourself. For the medicine to work, you should take it as the doctor told you.
Male Hypogonadism
Hypogonadism in men is when their reproductive organs, like their Testes, don't work right.
This means that they don't make enough sex hormones needed for fertility.
Foligraf 75 IU Injection works like the male sex hormone testosterone, so it helps men make more sperm.
This can help treat Hypogonadism in men and make them more likely to have children.
Pay close attention to what your medical practitioner tells you to do to get the most benefit.
Working
Foligraf 75 IU is a hormone Injection. In women, it works by making more Estrogen come out, which helps the egg grow and develop before it is released.
When it's in men, it helps them make sperm.

Which injection is used for egg release?

Can I get pregnant after taking FSH injection?
If FSH/IUI is used as an experiment to help a patient get pregnant, the success rate is about 30% after 3–4 cycles. That is one in three women who try "empirical" FSH/IUI therapy for 3–4 cycles will get pregnant.
