Foligraf 900IU Injection contains follicle-stimulating hormone used to treat fertility problems (usually given along with other medicines). In females, it develops and ripens several follicles (containing eggs necessary for fertilization) in women undergoing assisted reproductive technologies (a procedure that helps to get pregnant). It also helps to induce the ovulation procedure (releasing an egg from the ovary). In males, it helps replenish the deficient testosterone (anabolic steroid and primary sex hormone in males) levels and helps produce sperm cells.
