ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To determine the difference in FSH bioavailability from IM and SC injection sites.DESIGN:
Menotropin was injected into either an IM or SC site in women undergoing ovarian suppression with leuprolide acetate. Serial serum samples were obtained over 96 hours.SETTING:
Academic tertiary care institution. PATIENTS Seven volunteer cycling women. MAIN OUTCOMEMEASURES:
Follicle-stimulating hormone, LH, and E2 were determined in serial serum samples.RESULTS:
Peak serum FSH levels were higher and occurred earlier after IM injection than after SC injection. Computed absorption rate constants for FSH after IM and SC injection differed significantly.CONCLUSIONS:
The pharmacokinetics of FSH differ after a single IM or SC injection.
