How do I use Menopur?

Follow your doctor’s instructions closely, as your dosage of Menopur and the duration of the treatment will depend on your medical condition and a number of other factors. You will administer this medication through a subcutaneous injection, typically once daily at the same time every day. If you have questions about how to prepare the liquid solution for injection, consult your doctor or pharmacist. Always wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water and clean your injection site with rubbing alcohol before using Menopur. Change your injection site on a daily basis in order to prevent irritation and discomfort.

What are the possible side effects of taking Menopur?

Some relatively common side effects of Menopur include irritation at the injection site, headache, dizziness, breast tenderness, stomach cramps, and bloating. Tell your doctor if you have any side effects that are bothersome or long-lasting. Contact your doctor right away if you experience any rare but serious side effects, including fever, muscle ache, joint pain, chills, or unusual tiredness.

How do I store Menopur?

Menopur can be either refrigerated or stored at room temperature, but it should not be frozen. Keep it away from bright light and out of reach of any pets or children in your household. You should use the entire dose of solution once you have mixed the medication and prepared it for injection. If you have expired or leftover solution, ask your pharmacist how to safely dispose of it.

Because dizziness is a possible side effect of Menopur, you should avoid driving or participating in any other activities that require alertness until you know how the medication affects you. You should also limit your alcohol consumption. Be aware that certain fertility treatments, including Menopur, increase the likelihood of multiple births (e.g. twins or triplets).
