Fertility Drugs,Parlodel, Ovidrel, hCG,LH

Pregnyl, Ovidrel (recombinant hCG)

These products serve as substitutes for the LH surge and are administered to induce ovulation. The body responds to hCG in the same manner as it does to the LH surge. Therefore, an injection of hCG will stimulate ovulation 36 hours later. In IVF, the retrieval is scheduled in relation to the hCG injection.

Parlodel, bromocriptine

Some anovulatory women have elevated levels of the lactation hormone, prolactin. Prolactin levels normally increase in pregnant women leading to milk production. When levels are elevated in non-pregnant women it can lead to anovulation (lack of ovulation). High levels of prolactin are sometimes the result of a nonmalignant tumor located in the pituitary. Treatment consists of removing the tumor or medically treating the tumor with Parlodel, which lowers prolactin levels thus establishing regular ovulation.

Antibiotics

Many antibiotics are effective in treating infections of the male and female reproductive systems. Severe infections can cause damage to the reproductive organs including the tubes, uterus, ovaries, the testicles, the vas deferens and other internal organs.

In women, severe injection affecting the reproductive organs is termed pelvic inflammatory disease. If not treated adequately, it can result in permanent damage to the organs. A common infectious agent in women is Chlamydia, which is sexually transmitted. Infection in the male and female is ruled out during the infertility workup.
