Puregone: reviews of doctors and patients

"Puregon," which has the international name "Foliotropin beta," and the active substance with the same name, refers to the group of follicle-stimulating drugs. It is created by the Dutch firm "Organon", received recognition of Russians for the production of our popular drugs "Ovestin", "Marvelon".

The drug is synthesized from the urine of women who are in a state of menopause. Injections of the drug cause in the body an action similar to that of estrogen, causing the synthesis of steroids. Stimulation of growth and increase in the number of follicles is also possible with Puregon. The opinion of doctors shows that this drug of the last generation is very effective in the treatment of female infertility, especially caused by a malfunction in the work of the pituitary and hypothalamus, polycystosis, hypogonadotropic gonadism.

That is why, "Puregon", doctors' comments and comments on the drug confirm this, are used in the procedure of in vitro fertilization to stimulate superovulation.

Many patients who resorted to IVF, familiar name "Puregon". Reviews about him do not differ in complete unity of opinion, which is understandable. After all, for every diagnosis, each patient needs his own treatment regimen, his own amount of substance.

This is why Puregon is put into 3 ml bottles, but the "strength" of this composition can be 100, 150, 200, 600 units. So "Puregon 600" in its composition contains 600 IU of active ingredient per 0.72 mg, in others the concentration is weaker.

In addition to the active substance beta follitropin, the powder for injection includes sucrose, hydrochloric acid, polysorbate, and some other components. "Puregon 100", which has the lowest concentration of follitropin and placed in the injector pen, costs from 700 to 1000 rubles, the price of higher concentrations can reach 20 thousand rubles. (This applies to the drug "Puregon 600", calculated for 100 injections). Naturally, such packages are intended for medical institutions.

But back to the characteristics of the drug "Puregon". The patients' opinions about him are different. However, more thorough and close research has shown that only a very small number of patients did not help the drug. The rest of them became pregnant, including this drug. Where did the negative opinions come from? It was found that some patients expected almost instantaneous action of the drug, others violated the treatment regimen. In such cases, even the most highly qualified specialist can not guarantee a positive effect of treatment.

Why do modern specialists, whose reviews give a high rating to the drug, prefer this particular medicine? Because in the process of treatment the results of its use repeatedly exceed the effect of drugs of earlier generations. In addition, Puregon is produced using the latest technology, which reduces to zero side effects, but increases the number of women who become pregnant. 25% of all past IVF women already from the first application of the drug become happy future mothers. None of the previous drug of such indicators did not reach.

In addition, drug trials conducted simultaneously in many European countries showed that the use of this drug can dramatically reduce the use of other drugs while reducing the time for the onset of fertilization. If patients were prepared for in vitro fertilization with Puregone, the number of successful operations multiplies.

For a single course of treatment (on average in Europe), pregnancy occurs in 35 pairs of a hundred.

In our country, such a medicine is simply necessary, because only one in three Western couples is sterile in Western Siberia.

In addition to these positive points, there is one more: treatment course "Puregon" is shorter, and, therefore, is cheaper than other drugs.
