Benefits of Follilutin 75IU Injection
- In Female infertility: Follilutin 75IU helps in normal development of an egg in a woman's ovary (female reproductive organ), and stimulates the release of a healthy, matured egg. This helps to treat infertility in women and increases the chance of a successful pregnancy. It is given as an injection by a doctor or nurse and should not be self-administered. You should use the medicine as prescribed for it to be effective.
- In Male infertility: Male infertility refers to a male's inability to cause pregnancy in a fertile female. This may be due to inadequate amount of sex hormone in males which affects the sperm health as well as sperm count. Follilutin 75IU behaves as the male sex hormone, testostrone, and helps in treating infertility in males. It improves sperm count as well as their quality. This helps proper functioing of sex organs in males and increase schances of conceiving for a female.
- In Male hypogonadism: Male Hypogonadism is the improper functioning of reproductive organs, that is, testes in males, which causes failure to produce sex hormones required for fertility. Follilutin 75IU acts as the male sex hormone, testosterone and therefore, improves sperm production in males. This can reduce infertility and helps to treat hypogonadism in males. Follow your doctor’s instructions carefully to get the most benefit.
