Humog HP 150 IU Injection contains Menotropin (Human Menopausal Gonadotropin) 150 IU, which includes a blend of Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) and Luteinizing Hormone (LH). These hormones are crucial for fertility treatments because they help men produce sperm and encourage the development of eggs in women.
