Gonal F pen query

Post by lt81 »

Hi

My RE has recommended moving from Menopur to Gonal F for my 2nd cycle at a dose of 450.

Just trying to price it up - does anyone know how many doses of 450 the 450 multi-dose pens hold? Can't seem to find out online!

Thanks

The 450 multi dose pen holds just over 450. It will get you one full dose, and possibly up to 150 more towards your next dosage. Hope this helps. Good luck to you.

ya my experience was that's there's usually 75 ui leftover in each pen ...you can extract it and build it towards another dose.
