Follitropin alfa

Summary

Follitropin alfa has the same structure and activity as endogenous FSH. FSH is a pituitary hormone that controls the reproductive system in both males and females. Given the characteristics above, the performance of specific studies for Environmental Risk Assessment was not requested as proteins are biodegradable in the environment. Therefore, Bemfola/Ovaleap (follitropin alfa) is not expected to pose a risk to the environment.

This summary information comes from assessment reports.
