Introduction
Qualifol 150IU Injection contains the active substance Urofollitropin. It is an ovulation stimulator that belongs to the group of medications called gonadotropins. It is used to treat infertility in women who are not ovulating, including those with polycystic ovarian disease, and who have not responded to treatment with another medicine called clomiphene citrate. It is also used to help multiple follicles and, therefore, to promote fertility in women undergoing IVF (in-vitro fertilisation) or other types of assisted conception. It is also indicated to treat infertility in men due to low sperm count.

Before initiating the treatment, you will be checked for underactive thyroid problems, hormone levels, and tumours of the pituitary and hypothalamus.
