Chorionic Gonadotropin 5000 Units Injection

Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) 5000 Units Injection is a hormone treatment used for various medical conditions, particularly in fertility therapy, management of male hypogonadism, and treatment of cryptorchidism in boys. This hormone mimics the action of luteinizing hormone (LH), stimulating the production of sex hormones in both men and women.

Composition:

• Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG): The active ingredient derived from the urine of pregnant women or produced synthetically, which functions similarly to luteinizing hormone (LH).

Key Uses:

• Fertility Treatment in Women: Used to induce ovulation in women undergoing fertility treatments, such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intrauterine insemination (IUI). It also supports the luteal phase after ovulation.
• Male Hypogonadism: Stimulates the testes to produce testosterone, aiding in the treatment of men with hypogonadotropic hypogonadism to increase sperm production and improve fertility.
• Cryptorchidism in Boys: Treats prepubertal boys with cryptorchidism, a condition where one or both testes have not descended into the scrotum.

Administration and Dosage:

• Intramuscular (IM) or Subcutaneous (SC) Injection: Administered by healthcare professionals or self-administered under medical supervision.
• Dosage: The dosage and frequency depend on the condition being treated, the patient’s response, and other individual factors. Typical dosages for fertility treatment in women may involve a single dose of 5000 to 10,000 units, while men may receive doses ranging from 500 to 4000 units multiple times per week.

Important Considerations:

• Side Effects: Possible side effects include headache, irritability, restlessness, depression, fatigue, and pain at the injection site. Women may experience ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), which can be serious.
• Monitoring: Regular monitoring by a healthcare provider is essential to assess the treatment’s effectiveness and adjust dosages as needed.
• Contraindications: Not suitable for patients with known hypersensitivity to hCG, precocious puberty, prostate cancer, or certain other conditions.
• Prescription Only: Available by prescription only and should be used under the supervision of a healthcare provider.
