Fertility

Merck Serono is a world leader in the treatment of infertility, and we are committed to helping couples with conception difficulties fulfil their dream of having a baby.
Our vision is to develop and market innovative products that provide solutions for clinics and their patients, step-by-step, throughout the entire treatment cycle.
Personalised Treatment
Merck Serono uses recombinant technology to produce all three gonadotropin hormones for infertility treatment. We have a complete portfolio of highly effective fertility drugs that covers every aspect of the reproductive cycle. This offers clinicians the ability to tailor treatment to individual patients' needs.
Locally, we focus on the many challenges that reproductive healthcare professionals and couples facing conception difficulties encounter on a daily basis. Through a range of scientific and educational programs, we build partnerships that enable us to offer excellence in this field.
Infertility at a glance
  • Infertility is defined as the inability of a couple to achieve conception after a 12-month period of unprotected intercourse, or the inability to carry pregnancies to a live birth
  • 1 in 6 Australian couples experience conception difficulties
  • The causes of infertility are many and varied. They include problems with the fallopian tubes or the uterus, the production of sperm or eggs, endometriosis, recurrent miscarriage, as well as hormonal and autoimmune (antibody) disorders in both men and women
  • Australia's birth rates are currently lower than they have ever been
  • Nearly 2 out of every 100 Australian babies born today are the result of In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF).
Merck Serono understands the complexity of reproductive health issues. We have learnt that 'support', a vital component for healthcare professionals, patients and the community, is often an unmet need. To meet such needs, Merck Serono has worked with doctors, nurses and scientists to establish professional associations and patient support groups, as well as providing educational programs to clinicians and nurses.
