Prescribed an IBSA medicine?

As a patient who has been prescribed an IBSA medicine, we understand that you may have some questions.

In this section, you will find all the information you need to support the use of your medication and your fertility journey going forward. Once you have selected the product that you have been prescribed, you will find a short video explaining how to prepare, inject and dispose of your treatment.
