Grafia-r 150 IU Injection 1 contains follitropin beta (150 IU), which works on the body as follows:

• Stimulates follicular development: Follitropin beta mimics the action of natural follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), encouraging the growth and maturation of ovarian follicles in women undergoing fertility treatments.

• Promotes estrogen production: As the ovarian follicles grow under the influence of follitropin beta, they produce increasing amounts of estrogen, which is essential for preparing the body for ovulation and successful implantation.

• Supports spermatogenesis in men: In males with fertility issues, follitropin beta stimulates the Sertoli cells in the testes, promoting the production and maturation of sperm.

• Controlled stimulation: Being a recombinant (laboratory-made) form of FSH, follitropin beta allows for precise and consistent dosing, minimizing the risks of overstimulation compared to naturally sourced hormones.

• Store Grafia-r 150 IU Injection 1 in a refrigerator.

• Protect from light exposure.

• Once opened, the vial may be stored for a maximum of 28 days.

• Keep out of reach of children.

• Do not use after the expiry date printed on the packaging.

• Never freeze the injection.

• Maintain a balanced diet rich in folate (found in leafy greens, beans and citrus fruits) which supports reproductive health and egg development during fertility treatment.

• Regular, moderate exercise (such as walking or swimming) may help improve blood flow to reproductive organs and reduce stress levels, potentially enhancing your response to fertility treatment.
