Adjuvant Therapies

Adjuvant therapy, also known as adjunct therapy, or ‘add-ons’, comprises a group of medical interventions that are given alone or in combination in addition to the standard IVF treatment.

It is important to note that for many of these add-ons there is little or no evidence of their effectiveness to improve live birth rates. Nevertheless, your fertility clinician may decide to offer these treatments to individualise the care of your IVF treatment.

Repromed has a number of fact sheets on add-ons to help you make a fully informed decision. After discussion with your treating clinician, and if you choose to proceed with an adjuvant therapy, we will provide you with information on the specific therapy so you can weigh the evidence that this add-on may help you against the side effects it may cause, the known risks to mother and baby, as well as the extra costs.
