How Does Metrodin Work?
Also known as urofollitropin, Metrodin is a purified form of a follicle-stimulating hormone that has its origins in human urine. The drug is administered via subcutaneous injection to assist with ovulation and fertility, in combination with human chorionic gonadotropin. The dosage requires adjustment for each patient, according to their response, and the drug is often complementary to in vitro fertilization methods.

The drug has multiple known side effects, with the most common of them being bloating, pelvic pain, and increasing the chances of multiple pregnancies. Treatment with Metrodin in women with ovarian cysts can lead to an increase in them. Vaginal bleeding may occur during treatment, a sign of the excessively rapid growth of the endometrium, often associated with an excess of estrogen production induced by urofollitropin.
