Terms & Conditions of Program
A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.
The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.
Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.

Before using Follistim AQ, your doctor will perform an initial evaluation to determine if it is safe for you to use. They will also provide detailed instructions on properly using the medication, including the dose and timing of injections.

Follistim AQ is available in a prefilled pen, and the dose is determined by your doctor based on your individual needs and response to treatment.
Follistim AQ is typically administered by subcutaneous injection (under the skin). Your doctor or healthcare provider will instruct you on injecting the medication.
The active ingredient in Follistim AQ is follitropin beta, a recombinant human follicle-stimulating hormone.
Do not use Follistim AQ if you are allergic to any of the ingredients.
Tell your healthcare provider if you have a history of blood clots, stroke, or heart disease before using Follistim AQ. The medication can increase the risk of these conditions, especially in women over 35 or those with certain risk factors.
A rare but potentially serious side effect includes ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), which can cause abdominal pain, bloating, nausea, vomiting, and shortness of breath. OHSS can be life-threatening and requires immediate medical attention.
Common side effects of Follistim AQ may include:
