How to take the medicine

Medicines must always be taken as directed by the doctor. Stimulation is performed in the evening. Choose the time yourself - we recommend a time between 6 pm and 7 pm. Stimulation must be performed at the same time every day. Start using on the second or third day of the menstrual cycle. Stimulation is performed for a period of 10 to 15 days. The duration of stimulation is tailored to the response of each client. 

Always wash your hands before administering the medicine. The package includes one ampoule of medicine in powder, and two syringes of solvent and the needle. Open the ampoule of medicine. Attach the needle to the first syringe of solvent. Inject all the liquid into the ampoule. Always make sure that the powder is completely dissolved.  Now take second syringe of solvent and Inject all the liquid into the ampoule.  For the injection use the syringe with the unit marks. Gradually withdraw units according to the stimulation protocol (for example only 150 out of 600).  The medicine is now ready for application. Every day you draw a new dose from this ampoule, which you keep in cold. 

For the injection, choose an area around the navel in the lower abdomen and change the site of application every day. Use a disinfectant pad at the chosen area. The drug should be administered subcutaneously. Therefore the injection should be performed at an angle of 90° while holding the subcutaneous tissue. Insert the whole needle into the subcutaneous tissue and slide the plunger back to check whether you are in a vein. If your syringe becomes stained with blood, withdraw the injection and use a different one. If all is well, push the plunger of the syringe to inject the medicine. Dispose of the used syringe and needle in a container.
