LOTUS I study for luteal support as part of an Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) treatment (see Pharmacology: Pharmacodynamics under Actions): The most frequently reported events were: vaginal hemorrhage, nausea, procedural pain, headache, abdominal pain, and biochemical pregnancy.
The only related treatment emergent adverse event (TEAE) reported in ≥ 2% of subjects in either treatment group was vaginal hemorrhage.
Undesirable effects in adolescent population: Based on spontaneous reports and limited clinical trial data, the adverse reaction profile in adolescents is expected to be similar to that seen in adults.
