Follistim is a fertility medication used to help patients with infertility problems. This medication is known as a gonadotropin medication, meaning it contains the naturally occurring follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) to prepare the ovaries in women and mature sperm in men.

Follistim is most often used for female infertility for the following fertility procedures:

• In vitro fertilization (IVF): IVF is a multi-step procedure that collects mature eggs from the ovaries and fertilizes them in a lab setting. The fertilized egg is then transferred back into the uterus to mature and grow.
• Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI): ICSI injects a single healthy sperm into each mature egg in the ovaries. This procedure occurs when a male’s sperm quality or number is low and previous IVF attempts have been unsuccessful.
• Ovulation induction (OI): OI uses hormone therapy — like Follistim — to stimulate ovulation. This process produces a single, healthy egg.

Before Follistim Treatment

Prior to Follistim treatments, health care professionals recommend that patients have a complete gynecologic and endocrinologic evaluation to officially diagnose infertility. This process can determine the root cause of infertility and whether Follistim may be effective.

While Follistim medication is intended to help patients with fertility problems get pregnant, it must be verified that they are not pregnant before treatment for the child’s safety.

Doctors also recommend the male partner be evaluated for their fertility status. If infertility stems from the male instead of the female, the female’s ovaries can be overstimulated and cause complications.
