The hormone acts by mimicking natural FSH, thereby increasing the chances of successful ovulation in women undergoing infertility treatment.

Each pre-filled pen is intended for single-patient use and should be used exactly as directed, with dosage tailored to individual treatment plans.

Storage and Shelf LifeTo maintain the efficacy of Gonal-F, it should be stored in a cool, dry, and dark place as directed.
