Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a diagnosis prior to starting treatment with MENOPUR?

Yes, you do. MENOPUR is a prescription fertility medication and is typically used when a doctor thinks you may need help with ovulation or egg development.

Prior to starting treatment, your fertility team will perform a complete gynecologic and endocrinologic evaluation, and provide a diagnosis. They may then decide to start you on your fertility journey by prescribing MENOPUR.

Is MENOPUR recommended in particular scenarios—like in women with PCOS, diminished ovarian reserve, etc.?

With over 20 years of real-world use, MENOPUR has supported a diverse range of patients and their fertility journeys. However, there are some women who cannot use MENOPUR due to their medical history. Your fertility team will determine if, based on your medical history, MENOPUR will be a part of your IVF process. For a full list of conditions that may make you ineligible, please see the patient information.

How many times a day will I have to administer MENOPUR?

You’ll be self-adminstering MENOPUR once, each day, according to your fertility team.

How long will I need to use MENOPUR?

Everyone’s needs are different, so your fertility team will have a better idea of exactly how long you’ll be using MENOPUR. Treatment will not exceed more than 20 days.

What are some of the side effects of MENOPUR?

Most people feel perfectly fine while using MENOPUR, but like any medication, side effects are possible. The most common side effects of MENOPUR include:

abdominal cramps, fullness or pain
headache
injection site reaction or pain
ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS)

If you feel unwell after using MENOPUR, it’s important that you talk to your fertility team as soon as possible.

For more information on the possible side effects of MENOPUR, please see the patient information.

How often will I need to see my fertility team while using MENOPUR?

Throughout treatment with MENOPUR, your fertility team will be at your side, monitoring your progress, performing tests to check your responsiveness, hormone levels, and checking in to make sure that your needs are being met. You’ll likely be seeing a lot of them!

How much will MENOPUR cost me?

Actual cost will vary, but MENOPUR has the broadest coverage of its kind (gonadotropin)—with coverage for approximately 65% of commercially insured women
in the US.*

*Coverage as of 6/25. Please note: Subject to change based on individual plan coverage. Check the member’s benefits for more details.

Can I use MENOPUR with my multivitamins? Other drugs? Or Do I have to stop any of my other medications when taking MENOPUR?

Tell your healthcare provider about all the medicines you take, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements.

Know the medicines you take and keep a list of them to show your healthcare provider and pharmacist when you get a new medicine.

What happens if I accidentally miss a dose?

Mistakes happen.
If you miss a dose, don’t panic and don’t administer an additional dose to make up for the one that was missed. Instead, get in touch with your fertility team to make a plan of action.

Does using MENOPUR improve my chances of a live birth?

Every woman’s response to MENOPUR will be different. Your care team will help you understand how MENOPUR fits into your overall plan and what outcomes you might expect. Based on the data from multiple studies, however, MENOPUR could potentially improve chances of a live birth.
