  • FSH Formulation
    Publication number: 20030166525
    Abstract: This invention relates to FSH or a FSH variant containing an alpha and beta subunit contained in formulations, and articles of manufacture. The invention provides advantageous new proteins and nucleic acids, multi-use pharmaceutical solutions, formulations and products of said proteins and nucleic acids where none approved for commercial use had previously existed having such extended use indications. These products are particularly useful in therapeutic regimens for increasing serum levels of FSH or a FSH variant over a period of treatment. Thus, inter alia, the invention fills the need for convenient products of FSH or from a FSH variant.
