Last Update: 12/01/2017

Gonal-f is a hormonal drug that serves to stimulate a woman's ovaries and trigger the development of follicles during an artificial insemination, conventional IVF or ICSI cycle.

On some occasions, Gonal-f is also prescribed to men to stimulate sperm production, a process known as spermatogenesis.
