Many young parents today experience difficulty conceiving. One of the reasons is female infertility. Poor environment, sedentary lifestyle, frequent stress - all these factors negatively affect hormonal levels and serve as an obstacle to motherhood. To solve the problem, doctors often resort to homeopathy, prescribing Ovarium compositum. Instructions for using this tool will be presented in this article.
Composition and release form
The drug is a colorless liquid. Intended for intramuscular or subcutaneous injections. Available in 2.2 ml glass ampoules. A contour cell package contains 5 such ampoules. There are 1 or 20 contour packages in a cardboard box along with instructions.
The drug has a multicomponent composition. It includes plant, mineral and animal components (Ovarium suis, Placenta suis, Uterus suis, Tubae Uterus, Hypophysis, valerian, aquilegia, sepia, lachesis, etc.). Excipients are sodium chloride and water for injection.
Possible side effects and contraindications
In most cases, this drug does not cause side effects and is well tolerated by patients. The worst and most unpleasant thing that can happen is an allergic reaction in the form of itching, hives or dermatitis. Therefore, women who have allergies or are prone to allergic reactions should first conduct a special test by injecting a minimum dose of the solution onto the skin. It is especially important to pay attention to the mercury salt and Meadow lumbago present in the preparation, which are considered toxic and poisonous elements. However, in the dose that the medicine offers, they are medicinal components. In addition, Ovarium compositum is prepared under special conditions, so you should not be afraid of intramuscular or subcutaneous administration of a medicine containing animal components.
Drooling of varying degrees is another unpleasant side effect in patients, which may not always occur in everyone. If you reduce the dose of the drug, the side effect disappears. In addition, in rare cases, with mild colds, acute respiratory infections, flu and other diseases, the patient’s condition may deteriorate for a short time, but this does not require discontinuation of the drug. It is important that if any side effects or problems occur, you should immediately contact a specialist about possible changes to the treatment regimen. In general, it is worth noting that Ovarium compositum is well tolerated by patients and interacts well with other medications.
Pharmacological characteristics

As a result, processes of physiological renewal of reproductive structures occur, and a normal population of cells with good metabolism is formed. This remedy also has a mild sedative and anti-inflammatory effect.

As a rule, the course includes the use of Ovarium Compositum when planning pregnancy in addition to other drugs and vitamins. The duration of use, specific days and dosage are also calculated by the doctor.
The instructions indicate that in most cases, injections are given on days 5, 8, 12 and 14 of the cycle. It is possible to carry out injections every 2 days (48 hours), much less often they are repeated once a week. The most common scheme is represented by 4 cycles. In the first two periods, women are prescribed medications in the following sequence:

Ovarium Compositum: instructions for use
Price: from 850 to 14673 rubles.
A single dosage for women, as well as girls at puberty, is 1 amp. If such a drug has not been prescribed before, it is recommended to administer the solution into a muscle or through an IV, in some cases into a vein once or twice in 7 days. The schedule of injections for treatment is determined by the doctor, taking into account the peculiarities of the course of the disease (adhesions, exhausted ovarian syndrome). Injections are administered in a course of 4-6 weeks.
If a woman suffers from ovarian depletion, early ovulation, the use of Ovarium will contribute to the gradual restoration of follicle maturation. Inflammation is eliminated, which leads to a decrease in the severity of the adhesive process, the number of adhesions decreases, and tube patency is restored.
Interaction with alcohol
The treatment regimen with Ovarium Compositum prescribed by the doctor usually lasts several weeks. During this period, it is necessary to follow a diet (avoid smoked meats, preservatives, spicy and salty foods). The diet should be balanced. It is better to focus on fresh vegetables and fruits, dairy products. You need to consume about 2 liters of fluid daily. Coffee and strong tea are prohibited.
You will also have to give up alcoholic beverages. In addition to the detrimental effects on major organ systems, alcohol negatively affects the absorption of the drug. The functions of endocrine hormones, which affect the production and synthesis of reproductive organic substances, are inhibited. If it is not possible to give up alcoholic beverages, it is better not to start treatment. Even a single dose of alcohol means interruption of the prescribed therapy regimen. You should notify your doctor about this and start treatment again, but starting next month.
Recommended analogues
The cost of the drug varies from 900 to 1200 rubles. Due to the high price and individual hypersensitivity, it is not suitable for everyone. Therefore, doctors offer the following analogues:
- "Femiwell." It is used for ovarian dysfunction, as well as during menopause.
- "Vagilak". Used to treat vaginosis of various etiologies.
- "Abjufen" Prescribed to relieve hot flashes during menopause.
- "Gynecophyte". It is used in the treatment of cervical erosion and cervicitis, and has proven itself in colpitis and vulvovaginitis.
The action of analogue drugs is usually aimed at eliminating inflammatory and infectious diseases. However, Ovarium Compositum injections are intended to restore reproductive function. They have performed well in combination with the treatment of other gynecological pathologies. An analogue of the medicine should only be selected by a doctor, taking into account the woman’s existing health problems. In many cases, replacement is not advisable.
Reviews from women
Most of the fair sex speak positively about this drug. It is most often prescribed for infertility, menstrual irregularities, and to normalize ovulation. It copes well with its stated objectives if the woman undergoes treatment under the guidance of a doctor and strictly adheres to the recommended dosage regimen. Also, this remedy quickly relieves the unpleasant symptoms that one has to face with the onset of menopause. The drug itself acts gently and causes minimal side effects.
Negative reviews about the use of Ovarium Compositum are also found. As a rule, they are associated with the high cost of the drug. In some cases, women say that the therapeutic effect, and with it the long-awaited pregnancy, did not occur. Negative aspects may be associated with exacerbation of chronic diseases after the start of use, or the occurrence of allergies. However, the manufacturer notes such side effects in the instructions. This means that the product is not suitable and must be replaced with an analogue after consultation with a gynecologist.
