Dosage Form: Lyophilized Powder for Injection
Strength: 5000 IU per vial

Product Overview

Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) is a hormone that mimics the action of luteinizing hormone (LH) in the body. It is widely used in fertility treatments for both men and women and also plays a role in hormonal balance therapies. HCG helps stimulate natural hormone production and supports reproductive health.

Key Benefits

• Stimulates ovulation in women
• Supports treatment of infertility
• Helps increase testosterone production in men
• Prevents testicular atrophy during hormonal therapy
• Supports spermatogenesis (sperm production)

Mechanism of Action

HCG works by acting similarly to luteinizing hormone (LH). In females, it triggers ovulation by stimulating the release of an egg from the ovary. In males, it stimulates the Leydig cells in the testes to produce testosterone, which is essential for sperm production and overall male reproductive function.

Common Uses

• Female infertility (ovulation induction)
• Male hypogonadism
• Delayed puberty in males
• Assisted reproductive techniques (ART)
