MENOPUR® (menotropins for injection)
INDICATION FOR USE
MENOPUR® (menotropins for injection), administered subcutaneously, is indicated for the development
of multiple follicles and pregnancy in the ovulatory patients participating in an Assisted
Reproductive Technology (ART) program.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
MENOPUR is contraindicated in women who have: a high FSH level indicating primary ovarian failure,
presence of uncontrolled non-gonadal endocrinopathies, tumors of the pituitary gland or
hypothalamus, sex hormone dependent tumors of the reproductive tract and accessory organs, abnormal
uterine bleeding of undetermined origin, ovarian cysts or enlargement of undetermined origin, not
due to polycystic ovary syndrome, or prior hypersensitivity to menotropins or MENOPUR. MENOPUR is
not indicated in women who are pregnant and may cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant
woman
MENOPUR should only be used by physicians who are thoroughly familiar with infertility problems.
MENOPUR is a potent gonadotropic substance capable of causing Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome
(OHSS), with or without pulmonary or vascular complications, in women undergoing therapy for
infertility. Ovarian torsion has been reported after gonadotropin treatment. Serious pulmonary
conditions and thromboembolic events have been reported with MENOPUR. There have been infrequent
reports of ovarian neoplasms with MENOPUR. Multiple pregnancies, spontaneous abortion, congenital
malformations and ectopic pregnancies have occurred following treatment with MENOPUR.
The most common adverse reactions (≥2%) in ART include: abdominal cramps; abdomen enlarged;
abdominal pain; headache; injection site pain and reaction; injection site inflammation; OHSS.

(gynecological), Fetal Death, Headache, Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome, Vaginal Bleeding,
Injection Site Reaction, Nausea, Abdominal Pain (gastrointestinal).
During post marketing surveillance, rare cases of hypersensitivity reactions, including
anaphylactoid reactions, have been reported, as early as with the first dose.

congenital anomalies and FYREMADEL is unknown.
NOVAREL® (chorionic gonadotropin for injection, USP)
INDICATION FOR USE
NOVAREL® is indicated for the induction of ovulation and pregnancy in the anovulatory, infertile woman
in whom the cause of anovulation is secondary and not due to primary ovarian failure, and who has been
appropriately pre-treated with human menotropins.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
NOVAREL should not be used in patients with prior allergic reaction to HCG. HCG may cause fetal harm
when administered to a pregnant woman.
NOVAREL should be used in conjunction with human menopausal gonadotropins only by physicians experienced
with infertility problems who are familiar with the criteria for patient selection, contraindications,
warnings, precautions, and adverse reactions described in the package insert for menotropins. The
principal serious adverse reactions during this use are: (1) Ovarian hyperstimulation, a syndrome of
sudden ovarian enlargement, ascites with or without pain, and/or pleural effusion; (2) Enlargement of
preexisting ovarian cysts or rupture of ovarian cysts with resultant hemoperitoneum; (3) Multiple
births, and (4) Arterial thromboembolism.
Anaphylaxis has been reported with urinary-derived HCG products.
Since androgens may cause fluid retention, HCG should be used with caution in patients with cardiac or
renal disease, epilepsy, migraine, or asthma.
HCG can cross react in the radioimmunoassay of gonadotropins, especially luteinizing hormone. Each
individual laboratory should establish the degree of cross reactivity with their gonadotropin assay.
Physicians should make the laboratory aware of patients on HCG if gonadotropin levels are requested.
Defects of forelimbs and of the central nervous system, as well as alterations in sex ratio, have been
reported in mice on combined gonadotropin and HCG regimens. The dose of gonadotropin used was intended
to induce superovulation. No mutagenic effect has been clearly established in humans.
It is not known whether this drug is excreted in human milk. Because many drugs are excreted in human
milk caution should be exercised when HCG is administered to a nursing woman.
Adverse reactions include headache, irritability, restlessness, depression, fatigue, edema, precocious
puberty, gynecomastia, pain at the site of injection. Hypersensitivity reactions both localized and
systemic in nature, including erythema, urticaria, rash, angioedema, dyspnea and shortness of breath,
have been reported. The relationship of these allergic-like events to the polypeptide hormone or the
diluent containing benzyl alcohol is not clear.
INVOCELL® Intravaginal Culture System
INDICATIONS FOR USE
INVOCELL® Intravaginal Culture System consists of the INVOCELL Culture Device and the INVOCELL Retention
Device.
The Culture Device is indicated for use in preparing, holding, and transferring human gametes or embryos
during In Vitro Fertilization/Intravaginal Culture (IVF/IVC) and Intra-Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection
Fertilization/ Intravaginal Culture (ICSI/IVC) procedures.
The Retention Device is indicated for use during the incubation period to aid in retention of the Culture
Device in the vaginal cavity.
The Culture and Retention Devices are not indicated for incubation periods exceeding 72 hours.
SELECT IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Culture and Retention Devices should not be used in patients with the inability to tolerate placement or wearing of a device within the vaginal cavity.
Culture and Retention Devices are single use only. Do not use if product or package appears damaged.
Do not use Culture Device in patients with hypersensitivity to medical grade silicone or polystyrene or in patients with a severe case of vaginitis or with a history of toxic shock syndrome. Evaluate patients for any recent pelvic surgery to assure it will not affect intravaginal culture procedure.
Proper handling is extremely important to safe and effective use of Culture Device. Do not begin clinical use of INVOCELL Intravaginal Culture System without establishing competency by reading and practicing Instructions for Use.
It is recommended that INVOCELL Intravaginal Culture System be utilized with a mild ovarian stimulation protocol. The recommended upper limit on number of oocytes or ICSI fertilized embryos to be placed in Culture Device is seven.
Verify Culture Device is correctly locked before placement in vaginal cavity.
Patients should avoid any activity that may alter temperature of vaginal cavity and should avoid manipulation and removal of Culture and Retention Devices while in place.
ENDOMETRIN®
(progesterone) Vaginal Insert
INDICATION FOR USE
ENDOMETRIN® (progesterone) Vaginal Insert is indicated to support embryo implantation and early
pregnancy by supplementation of corpus luteal function as part of an Assisted Reproductive Technology
(ART) treatment program for infertile women.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
ENDOMETRIN should not be used in individuals with any of the following conditions: previous allergic
reactions to progesterone or any of the ingredients of ENDOMETRIN, undiagnosed vaginal bleeding, known
missed abortion or ectopic pregnancy, liver disease, known or suspected breast cancer, active arterial
or venous thromboembolism or severe thrombophlebitis, or a history of these events.
The physician should be alert to earliest signs of myocardial infarction, cerebrovascular disorders,
arterial or venous thromboembolism (venous thromboembolism or pulmonary embolism), thrombophlebitis, or
retinal thrombosis. ENDOMETRIN should be discontinued if any of these are suspected.
Patients with a history of depression need to be closely observed. Consider discontinuation if symptoms
worsen.
ENDOMETRIN should not be recommended for use with other vaginal products (such as antifungal products)
as this may alter progesterone release and absorption from the vaginal insert.
The most common adverse reactions reported (greater than 5%) were post-oocyte retrieval pain, abdominal
pain, nausea, and ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome.
