What Luveris is and what it is used for

What Luveris is

Luveris is a medicine containing lutropin alfa, a recombinant Luteinising Hormone (LH) which is essentially similar to the hormone found naturally in humans, but is made by means of biotechnology.

It belongs to the family of hormones called gonadotropins, which are involved in the normal control of reproduction.

What Luveris is used for

Luveris is recommended for the treatment of adult women who have been shown to produce very low levels of some of the hormones involved in the natural reproductive cycle. The medicine is used together with another hormone called Follicle Stimulating Hormone, (FSH), to bring about the development of follicles which are in the ovary, the structures maturing the eggs (ova). It is followed by treatment with a single dose of human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG), which leads to the release of an egg from the follicle (ovulation).
