輔助生育治療藥物

 
 
要提高受孕機會,醫生會按情況處方誘發排卵的藥物,令女士排出多於一顆卵子。誘發排卵的藥物主要有兩類,分別是克羅米芬(俗稱多仔丸)以及促性腺激素。
 
 
 
克羅米芬
克羅米芬為口服誘導排卵藥物。其副作用包括潮熱﹑視力模糊﹑噁心﹑腹脹及頭痛。克羅米芬會抑制雌激素功能,減薄子宮內膜的厚度,令胚胎難以著床。數據顯示,服用克羅米芬而成功受孕的比率只有少於10%5-8
 
 
 
促性腺激素
促性腺激素是指含有促卵泡激素FSH促黃體激素LH及/或人類絨毛性腺激素hCG的針劑。療程一般由經期第2天開始,為期7至14天。促性腺激素大致分為人類促性腺激素和基因重組促性腺激素兩種。
