Safacto AF Injection 500 IU — Pakistan

Safacto AF Injection 500 IU is an injectable fertility medicine containing follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). FSH is a gonadotropin hormone that plays an important role in the development of ovarian follicles in women and sperm production in men.

Active Ingredient

• Generic: Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH)
• Strength: 500 IU
• Dosage form: Injection
• Therapeutic class: Gonadotropin / Fertility medicine

Uses in Women

FSH injections may be prescribed as part of fertility treatment to:

• Stimulate the development of ovarian follicles
• Help induce ovulation in women with ovulatory problems
• Support controlled ovarian stimulation during assisted reproductive techniques such as IVF

Uses in Men

Under specialist supervision, FSH may be used in selected men with certain hormonal causes of infertility to:

• Stimulate sperm production
• Support treatment of some forms of male infertility associated with inadequate FSH activity

How It Works

FSH stimulates the ovaries to develop follicles containing eggs. In men, FSH acts on the testes and supports the process of spermatogenesis (sperm production).

Benefits

• Supports follicular development in women
• Helps stimulate ovulation as part of fertility treatment
• Can be used for controlled ovarian stimulation in IVF
• May help stimulate sperm production in appropriately selected men

Administration

Safacto AF should be administered according to a fertility specialist's instructions. The dose and treatment schedule vary considerably depending on the patient's condition, treatment protocol, hormone levels, and response to therapy.

Common Side Effects

Possible side effects may include:

• Headache
• Nausea
• Abdominal discomfort or bloating
• Injection-site reactions
• Breast tenderness
• Fatigue

Important Safety Information

FSH treatment requires medical monitoring because excessive ovarian stimulation can cause ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). Symptoms such as severe abdominal pain or swelling, rapid weight gain, breathing difficulty, or markedly reduced urination require urgent medical assessment.

Multiple pregnancy is also a possible risk during fertility treatment.
