• Generic Name: menotropins
• Dosage Forms: n.a.
• Other Brand Names: Menopur, Repronex, Pergonal, Humegon

Menotropins injection is used to treat infertility in women. Menotropins are a mixture of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) that are produced in the body by the pituitary gland.

Menotropins injection is used in women with healthy ovaries who are enrolled in a fertility program called assisted reproductive technology (ART). ART uses procedures such as in vitro fertilization (IVF). Menotropins is used together with human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in these procedures.

Many women choosing treatment with menotropins have already tried clomiphene (eg, Serophene) and have not been able to conceive yet. Menotropins may also be used to cause the ovary to produce several follicles, which can then be harvested for use in gamete intrafallopian transfer (GIFT) or in vitro fertilization (IVF).

Follicle stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone is available only with your doctor's prescription.

Proquin XR (ciprofloxacin) is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic that fights bacteria in the body.

Proquin XR is used to treat simple uncomplicated bladder infections.

It is not known if Proquin XR is safe and works in treating any infections other than uncomplicated bladder infections.

Fluoroquinolone antibiotics can cause serious or disabling side effects that may not be reversible.

Proquin XR should be used only for infections that cannot be treated with a safer antibiotic.

It is also not known if this medicine is safe and works in children under 18 years of age. Children have a higher chance of getting bone, joint, or (musculoskeletal) problems while taking fluoroquinolone antibiotic medicines.

Some infections are caused by viruses rather than by bacteria. Examples include viral infections in the sinuses and lungs, such as the common cold of flu. Antibiotics including ciprofloxacin do not kill viruses.
