What Bemfola is<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This medicine contains the active substance follitropin alfa, which is almost identical to a natural hormone produced by your body and is called “follicle-stimulating hormone” ( FSH ). FSH is a gonadotropin, a type of hormone that plays an important role in human fertility and reproduction. In women, FSH is needed for the growth and development of the sacs (follicles) in the ovaries where the egg cells are located. In men, FSH is needed for sperm production. What Bemfola is used for<\/strong> In adult women<\/strong>, Bemfola is used:<\/p>\n\n\n\n In adult men<\/strong>, Bemfola is used:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Before starting treatment, your and your partner’s fertility should be evaluated by a doctor who has experience in assessing fertility disorders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Do not use Bemfola if any of the above apply to you. If you are not sure, talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking this medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Porphyry<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Tell your doctor before starting treatment if you or someone in your family has porphyria (an inability to break down porphyrins that can be transmitted from parents to children).<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the above events, your doctor may recommend that you stop treatment. Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are a woman, this medicine increases the risk of developing OHSS. This is when your follicles develop too much and become large cysts. If you experience lower abdominal pain, rapid weight gain, nausea or vomiting, or difficulty breathing, talk to your doctor immediately, who may ask you to stop using this medicine (see section 4).<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are not ovulating and if the recommended dose and the administration schedule are followed, the occurrence of OHSS is less likely. Bemfola treatment rarely causes pronounced OHSS unless the drug used for final follicular maturation (containing human chorionic gonadotropin, hCG ) is given. If you develop OHSS, your doctor may not give you any hCG during this treatment cycle and you may be told not to have intercourse or to use barrier contraceptives for at least four days. Multiple pregnancies<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n When you use Bemfola, there is a greater risk that you will become pregnant with more than one child at the same time (“multiple births”, usually twins) than if you become pregnant naturally. Multiple pregnancies can cause medical complications for you and your children. You can reduce the risk of multiple pregnancies by using the right dose of Bemfola at the right times. When you undergo assisted reproduction, the risk of multiple pregnancies is related to your age, the quality, and the number of fertilized eggs or embryos that are placed inside you. Miscarriage<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n When you undergo assisted reproduction or when your ovaries are stimulated to produce eggs, you are at greater risk of miscarriage than the average woman. Problems with blood clots (thromboembolic events)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have had blood clots in your legs or lungs before or recently, or a heart attack or stroke, or if someone in your family has had it, the risk of these problems may increase or worsen with Bemfola treatment. Men with too much FSH in their blood<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are a man and have too much FSH in your blood, this could be a sign of damaged testicles. Bemfola does not work if you have this problem. If your doctor decides to try Bemfola, you may be asked to leave semen for analysis 4 to 6 months after the start of treatment to monitor treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bemfola is not indicated for use by children and adolescents under 18 years of age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or might take any other medicines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Do not use Bemfola if you are pregnant or breast-feeding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This medicine is not expected to affect your ability to drive or use machines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This medicine contains less than 1 mmol sodium (23 mg) per dose, ie essentially ‘sodium-free’. Always use this medicine exactly as your doctor has told you. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you are unsure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Your doctor will decide how much medicine to take and how often. The doses shown below are given in International Units (IU) and milliliters (ml). Women<\/strong> If you do not ovulate and have irregular or no periods<\/strong> If your doctor does not see the desired response after 4 weeks, the treatment cycle with Bemfola should be stopped. In the following treatment cycle, your doctor will give you a higher starting dose of Bemfola than before. If your body responds too strongly, treatment will be stopped and you will not receive any hCG (see section 2, OHSS). In the following cycle, your doctor will give you a lower dose of Bemfola than before. If you are not ovulating, having no periods, and have been diagnosed with very low levels of FSH – and LH – hormone s<\/strong> If your doctor cannot see an answer after 5 weeks, the treatment cycle with Bemfola should be stopped. In the following cycle, your doctor will give you a higher starting dose of Bemfola than before. If your body responds too strongly, Bemfola will be stopped and you will not get any hCG (see section 2, OHSS). In the following cycle, your doctor will give you a lower dose of Bemfola than before. If you need to develop more eggs for collection before an assisted fertilization<\/strong> Otherwise, your doctor may first stop your ovulation by using a gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist or antagonist. Thereafter, treatment with Bemfola is started approximately two weeks after the start of agonist treatment. Then, given both Bemfola and GnRH – agonist one until your follicles develop as desired. For example, after two weeks of treatment with GnRH – agonist, is given 150 to 225 IU of Bemfola 7 days. Then dose one is adjusted according to the response of your ovaries. When a GnRH – antagonist used, it is given from the 5th or 6th day of treatment with Bemfola and continues to be given until ovulation has been induced. Men<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The effects of too much Bemfola are unknown. Nevertheless, ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) can be expected to occur. This is described in section 4. However, OHSS only occurs if hCG has also been administered (see section 2, under “OHSS”).<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you forget to use Bemfola, do not take a double dose to make up for a forgotten dose. Talk to your doctor as soon as you notice that you have missed a dose. If you have any further questions on the use of this product, ask your doctor or pharmacist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Like all medicines, this medicine can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them.
