Patient leaflet - Pergoveris (900 IU + 450 IU)/1.44 ml solution for injection in Pre-filled pen
1. What Pergoveris is and what it is used for
What Pergoveris is
Pergoveris contains two different active substances called “follitropin alfa” and “lutropin alfa”. Both belong to the family of hormones called “gonadotropins”, which are involved in reproduction and fertility.
What Pergoveris is used for
This medicine is used to stimulate the development of follicles (each containing an egg) in your ovaries. This is to help you get pregnant. It is for use in adult women (18 years old or above) who have low levels (severe deficiency) of “follicle stimulating hormone” (FSH) and “luteinising hormone” (LH).
These women are usually infertile.
How Pergoveris works
The active substances in Pergoveris are copies of the natural hormones FSH and LH. In your body:
- FSH stimulates the production of eggs
- LH stimulates the release of the eggs.
By replacing the missing hormones, Pergoveris allows women with low levels of FSH and LH to develop a follicle. This will then release an egg, after an injection of the hormone “human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG)”. This helps the women to become pregnant.
2. What you need to know before you use Pergoveris
You and your partner’s fertility should be evaluated before the treatment is started by a doctor experienced in treating fertility problems.
Do not use Pergoveris:
if you are allergic to follicle stimulating
hormone (FSH), luteinising hormone (LH) or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6)
if you have a brain tumour
(in your hypothalamus or pituitary gland)
if you have large ovaries or sacs of fluid
within your ovaries (ovarian cysts) of unknown origin
- if you have unexplained vaginal bleeding
if you have cancer in your ovaries,
womb or breasts
if you have a condition that would make
a normal pregnancy impossible, such as an early menopause, malformed sex organs or benign tumours of the womb.
Do not use this medicine if any of the above apply to you. If you are not sure, talk to your doctor, pharmacist or nurse before using this medicine.
Warnings and precautions
Talk to your doctor, pharmacist or nurse before using Pergoveris.
Porphyria
Talk to your doctor before you start your treatment. If you or any member of your family have porphyria (an inability to breakdown porphyrins that may be passed on from parents to children).
Tell your doctor straight away if:
your skin becomes fragile and easily
blistered, especially skin that has been frequently exposed to sunlight
- you have stomach, arm or leg pain.
In case of above events your doctor may recommend that you stop treatment.
Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) This medicine stimulates your ovaries. This increases your risk of developing ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS).
This is when your follicles develop too much and become large cysts. If you get lower abdominal pain, gain any weight rapidly, feel sick or are vomiting or if you have difficulty in breathing, talk to your doctor straight away. They might ask you to stop using this medicine (see in section 4. under “Most serious side effects”).
In case you are not ovulating and if the recommended dose and schedule of administration are adhered to, the occurrence of severe OHSS is less likely. Pergoveris treatment seldom causes severe OHSS. This becomes more likely if the medicine that is used for final follicular maturation (containing human chorionic gonadotropin, hCG) is administered (see in section 3. under “How much to use” for details). If you are developing OHSS your doctor may not give you any hCG in this treatment cycle and you may be told not to have sex or that you should use a barrier contraceptive method for at least four days.
Your doctor will ensure, careful monitoring of the ovarian response, based on ultrasound and blood tests (oestradiol measurements) before and during the course of treatment.
Multiple pregnancy
When using Pergoveris, you have a higher risk of being pregnant with more than one child at the same time (“multiple pregnancy”, mostly twins), than if you conceived naturally.
Multiple pregnancy may lead to medical complications for you and your babies. You can reduce the risk of multiple pregnancy by using the right dose of Pergoveris at the right times.
To minimise the risk of multiple pregnancy, ultrasound scans as well as blood tests are recommended.
Miscarriage
When undergoing stimulation of your ovaries to produce eggs, you are more likely to have a miscarriage than the average woman.
Ectopic pregnancy
Women who have ever had blocked or damaged fallopian tubes (tubal disease) are at risk of pregnancy where the embryo is implanted outside the womb (ectopic pregnancy). This is whether the pregnancy is obtained by spontaneous conception or with fertility treatments.
Blood clotting problems (thromboembolic events) Talk to your doctor before using Pergoveris if you or a member of your family have ever had blood clots in the leg or in the lung, or a heart attack or stroke. You may be at a higher risk of serious blood clots or existing clots might become worse with Pergoveris treatment.
Tumours of sex organs
There have been reports of tumours in the ovaries and other sex organs, both benign and malignant, in women who have undergone multiple regimens for infertility treatment.
Allergic reactions
There have been isolated reports of non-serious allergic reactions to Pergoveris. If you have ever had this type of reaction to a similar medicine, talk to your doctor before using Pergoveris.
Children and adolescents
Pergoveris is not for use in children and adolescents below 18 years old.
Other medicines and Pergoveris
Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are using, have recently used or might use any other medicines.
Do not use Pergoveris with other medicines in the same injection. You can use Pergoveris with a licensed follitropin alfa preparation as separate injections, if prescribed by your doctor.
Pregnancy and breast-feeding
Do not use Pergoveris if you are pregnant or breast-feeding.
Driving and using machines
It is not expected that this medicine will affect your ability to drive or use machines.
Pergoveris contains sodium
Pergoveris contains less than 1 mmol sodium (23 mg) per dose that is to say essentially “sodium-free”.
3. How to use Pergoveris
Always use this medicine exactly as your doctor or pharmacist has told you. Check with your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure.
Using this medicine
Pergoveris is intended to be given by injection just under the skin
(subcutaneously). To minimise skin irritation, select a different injection site each day.
- Your doctor or nurse will show you how to use the Pergoveris pre-filled pen to inject the medicine.
If they are satisfied that you can administer
Pergoveris safely, you can then prepare and inject the medicine yourself at home.
- If you administer Pergoveris to yourself, please carefully read and follow the “Instructions for Use”.
How much to use
A treatment regimen commences with the recommended dose of Pergoveris containing 150 International Units (IU) of follitropin alfa and 75 IU of lutropin alfa every day.
- According to your response, your doctor may decide to add every day a dose of a licensed follitropin alfa preparation to your Pergoveris injection. In this case, the follitropin alfa dose is usually increased every 7 or every 14 days by 37.5 to 75 IU.
- Treatment is continued until you get the desired response. This is when you have developed a suitable follicle, as assessed using ultrasound scans and blood tests.
- This may take up to 5 weeks.
When you get the desired response, you will be given a single injection of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) 24 to 48 hours after your last Pergoveris injection. The best time to have sex is on the day of the hCG injection and the day after. Alternatively, intrauterine insemination or another medically assisted reproduction procedure may be performed based on your doctor’s judgment.
If your body responds too strongly, your treatment will be stopped and you will not be given any hCG (see in section 2. under “Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS)”). In this case, your doctor will give you a lower follitropin alfa dose in the following cycle.
Package leaflet: Information for the user
Pergoveris® (900 IU + 450 IU)/1.44 mL solution for injection in pre-filled pen
(follitropin alfa/lutropin alfa) UK510939P99-A1.0 If you use more Pergoveris than you should
The effects of an overdose of Pergoveris are unknown, nevertheless one could expect OHSS to occur. However this will only occur if hCG is administered (see in section 2. under “Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS)”).
If you forget to use Pergoveris
Do not use a double dose to make up for a forgotten dose. Please contact your doctor.
If you have any further question on the use of this medicine, ask your doctor, pharmacist or nurse.
4. Possible side effects
Like all medicines, this medicine can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them.
Most serious side effects
Contact your doctor straight away if you notice any of the below listed side effects. The doctor might ask you to stop using Pergoveris.
Allergic reactions
Allergic reactions such as rash, red skin, hives, swelling of your face with difficulty breathing can sometimes be serious. This side effect is very rare.
Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS)
Lower abdominal pain together with nausea
or vomiting. These may be the symptoms of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). Your ovaries may have over-reacted to the treatment and formed large sacs of fluid or cysts (see in section 2. under “Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS)”). This side effect is common. If this happens, your doctor will need to examine you as soon as possible.
The OHSS may become severe with
clearly enlarged ovaries, decreased urine production, weight gain, difficulty in breathing and/or possible fluid accumulation in your stomach or chest.
This side effect is uncommon
(may affect up to 1 in 100 people).
Complications of OHSS such as twisting of
ovaries or blood clotting occur rarely (may affect up to 1 in 1 000 people).
Serious blood clotting problems
(thromboembolic events) usually with severe OHSS are found very rarely. This could cause chest pain,
breathlessness, stroke or heart attack. In rare cases this can also happen independently of OHSS (see in section 2. under “Blood clotting problems (thromboembolic events)”).
Other side effects
Very common
(may affect more than 1 in 10 people):
sacs of fluid within the ovaries
(ovarian cysts)
- headache
local reactions at the injection site such as
pain, itching, bruising, swelling or irritation.
Common (may affect up to 1 in 10 people):
- diarrhoea
- breast pain
- feeling sick or vomiting
- abdominal or pelvic pain
- abdominal cramp or bloating.
Very rare (may affect up to 1 in 10 000 people):
- Your asthma may get worse.
Reporting of side effects

Choose your injection site:
2.4 Your healthcare
provider should show you the injection sites to use around your
stomach area
(Figure 9). To minimize skin irritation, select a different injection site each day.
2.5 Clean the skin at the
injection site by wiping with an alcohol swab.
Do not touch or cover the
cleaned skin.
Fig. 9
Step 3 Attach your needle
Important: Always make sure to use a new needle for each injection.
Re-using needles can cause infection
3.1 Get a new needle.
Only use the “single-use” needles supplied.
3.2 Check that the outer
needle cap is not
damaged.
3.3 Hold the outer needle cap
firmly.
3.4 Check that the peel-off
seal on the outer needle cap is not damaged or loose, and that expiration date has not passed
(Figure 10).
3.5 Remove the peel-off seal
(Figure 11).
Do not use the needle if it is damaged, expired or if the outer needle cap or the peel-off seal is damaged or loose. Using expired needles or needles with damaged peel-off seal or outer needle cap can lead to infection. Throw it away in a sharps container and get a new needle.
