Urinary-derived gonadotropin preparation providing FSH and LH biological activities. Analysis of highly purified hMG preparations identified hCG as an important contributor to LH activity. Activity ratios do not define molecular mass fractions.

PREPARATION: PMID:39273352 analyzes gonadotropin composition and hCG in highly purified hMG preparations. ROUTE: PMID:34622768 studied single SC doses of liquid and reconstituted Menopur in a randomized crossover trial. DOSE: The study used 450 IU per treatment in pituitary-suppressed healthy women; this was a bioequivalence experiment, not a generic treatment starting dose. PK: FSH and hCG were separate measured analytes; their parameters are not copied into a single mixture curve.
