Urofollitropin is a purified form of a hormone called follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). This hormone is important in the development of follicles (eggs) that are produced by the ovaries in women.

Urofollitropin is used together with other medicines to treat infertility in women with FSH deficiency. Urofollitropin is also used to help the ovaries produce multiple eggs for use in "in-vitro" fertilization.

Urofollitropin alone will not cause ovulation (production of an egg by the ovaries). You will need to receive other medicines to stimulate ovulation.

Urofollitropin may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
