Menotropin is an active substance for the treatment of fertility disturbances.
It is extracted from human urine and contains the two gonadotropin hormones LH and FSH.
Menotropin medications include Bravelle ®, Menopur ® and Pergonal ®.
Risks
Because of the risk that Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) could be transferred in the treatment, the Swiss medical board of control, Swissmedic, decreed that a supplemental warning must be provided, although as yet not one CJD infection has been transferred through human urine.
In a complaint before their Federal court, the manufacturer objected that Menotropin from other kinds of mammals must carry the disease to pose a risk. No reference was given, however.
Side effects
Approximately 20 % of the women treated with Menotropin have a multiple pregnancy.
