Abstract

In vitro fertilization (IVF) has been utilized since the late 1970s. Since the time of the first successful pregnancy, use of IVF medication has changed over the years in regards to potency, timing, and types of medications given. Most commonly, these medications are given using a hypodermic needle, which causes some discomfort to the patient. Transdermal medications have several benefits, and this route could someday be utilized more frequently in IVF cycles. In this review, the current uses of transdermal medications in IVF are discussed, as well as future potential therapies.
