Follitropin alfa, Lutropin alfa
Indications
Follitropin alfa, Lutropin alfa is used for:
FOLLITROPIN ALPHA
In women having been diagnosed with primary ovarian failure, it is used in combination with human chorionic gonadotropin (hcg) to assist in ovulation and fertility. In men with hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism, it is used to induce spermatogenesis. Follitropin may also be used to cause the ovary to produce several follicles, which can then be harvested for use in gamete intrafallopian transfer (gift) or in vitro fertilization (ivf)
LUTROPIN ALFA
For treatment of infertility in women with hypothalamic or pituitary insufficiency (hypogonadotropic hypogonadism) and profound lh deficiency (lh <1. 2 international units [iu]/l)

Mechanism of Action
FOLLITROPIN ALPHA
Follitropin is important for spermatogenesis, gonadal steroid production and follicule growth and maturation
LUTROPIN ALFA
Luteinizing hormone binds to a receptor shared with the human chorionic gonadotropin hormone (hcg) on the ovarian theca (and granulosa) cells and testicular leydig cells. This lh/cg transmembrane receptor is a member of the super-family of g protein-coupled receptors. Adenylate cyclase then activates many other pathways leading to steroid hormone production and other follicle maturation processes
