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. You will receive 5 or 10 ampoules of solvent and an equal number of ampoules of the active ingredient in powder form. Keep in mind that one ampoule contains 75 units. In this example, we have 2 ampoules of powder, so we are preparing 150 units. Depending on the stimulation dose, you must mix a certain number of ampoules with powder together with one ampoule of liquid using a syringe and the large needle. 

Insert the liquid from the ampoule of solvent into the first ampoule of powder.  Always make sure that the powder is completely dissolved. Draw all of the medication from the ampoule and inject it into the second ampoule of powder. You will only use one ampoule of solvent. The rest are not needed. Repeat this process with the prescribed number of ampules. Move the plunger to expel air from the syringe.  Use the smaller needle for the application itself. 

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.
