Women who wish to become pregnant but find themselves unable to conceive often look to In-vitro fertilization (IVF). When on an In-vitro fertilization plan, a patient may be prescribed “trigger shots” to prompt the body to produce eggs. Of the ‘cocktail’ of drugs within the trigger shot, one of the main drugs prescribed is Gonal F. Gonal F success rates are in part due to the fact that the drug contains Follitropin Alfa, a compound similar to Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) produced in the body. The role of the Follitropin Alfa is to stimulate the reproductive system to produce mature eggs that can be retrieved for fertilization. Gonal F can also be prescribed to females and males alike. Gonal F when prescribed to males helps to increase sperm count and testosterone production.
Gonal F 300IU injections
Gonal F 300IU can be obtained in either a powder or a liquid form. Of the two, the liquid injections are the most popular option. When Gonal F is purchased, it will arrive in the form of a cartridge and an injection pen. Once the Gonal F 300IU has been mixed, simply inject it subcutaneously into the lower abdominal area. Gonal F storage must be strictly adhered to; keep Gonal F dosages at room temperature or refrigerated for a maximum of 28 days after first use. Any unused leftover injections cannot be sold by the patient, they must either be donated or thrown away.
How to Buy Gonal F
Gonal F 300IU has two options available for purchase: multi-dose and RFF. Typically, Gonal F 300 IU costs are around $318-477 depending on which dose a patient has been prescribed. Often times Gonal F isn’t the only drug prescribed in IVF treatments. There are a few tips and tricks to lower the Gonal F 300 IU price if patients are worried about paying for everything. First, be sure to check with the insurance company to see if any of the prescribed drugs are covered. Don’t be afraid to shop online either, many online pharmacies offer Gonal F 300IU for a cheaper price than in stores. Another piece of advice is to check for coupons or sales online, many sites offer frequent sales and coupons.
Side Effects associated with Gonal F
Gonal F 300IU should not be taken by anyone who is allergic to follitropin, sodium phosphate, sucrose, or benzyl alcohol. Possible Gonal F side effects associated with Gonal F injections is headache, upset stomach, sinus infections, minor skin irritation, breast pain, breast growth, ovarian cysts, and fatigue. Rarer but more serious side effects associated are Ovarian Hyper sensitivity (OHSS) or blood clots. If any of these symptoms arise, it is advised to consult with a physician and discontinue use.
