Menotropin, a medication, is indicated for the treatment of infertility in women. It is commonly used in assisted reproductive techniques such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) to stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs, increasing the chances of successful conception. Menotropin contains both follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH), which play crucial roles in regulating the female reproductive system, making it a valuable tool in addressing infertility issues and aiding in the achievement of pregnancy for those struggling with fertility challenges.
