How does FOLLISTIM AQ Cartridge work?
FOLLISTIM AQ Cartridge acts like naturally produced follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), the hormone that stimulates the ovaries. It binds to the surface of the immature follicle to trigger a series of events that lead to the growth of the follicle and the maturation of the egg. FOLLISTIM AQ Cartridge (or other drugs containing FSH) will not induce ovulation. For ovulation to occur, a second hormone called human chorionic gonadotropin, available as PREGNYL (chorionic gonadotropin for injection, USP), is administered.
