Follistim AQ is a gonadotropin used to treat infertility in males and females. It may also be used to treat other conditions as determined by your doctor.

This medicine is given as an injection. IF YOU ARE USING THIS MEDICINE AT HOME, a healthcare professional will provide detailed instructions for its appropriate use. Ask them any questions that you may have about your medicine or giving injections. The solution should be clear and should be free of particles. Draw up the solution for injection. Needles with higher gauge (25G and higher) are smaller and are more comfortable to the patient. Be sure all air bubbles are tapped out of the syringe. Wipe the injection site with an alcohol swab, then insert the syringe through the skin in the appropriate injection site (usually the upper thigh or buttocks). TO BE SURE THAT THE NEEDLE IS NOT IN A VEIN after inserting the needle into the skin, pull back on the plunger of the syringe while holding the syringe in place. If the syringe begins to fill with blood, the needle is in a vein. If this happens, remove the needle from the skin, throw the syringe away, and start the procedure again using new materials (drug, syringes, etc.). AFTER GIVING THE INJECTION, cover the injection site with a small bandage if necessary. STORE THIS MEDICINE as directed by the prescription label. Protect from light. IF YOU MISS A DOSE OF THIS MEDICINE, contact your doctor for instructions.
