HCG Injection 5000IU

✔️ Medicinal Benefits of hCG

Human Chorionic Gonadotropin works by mimicking the action of luteinizing hormone (LH), helping activate important reproductive pathways.

✔️ How to Use Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin

• Use hCG only in the dose and at the exact time prescribed by your doctor.
• It is administered by injection according to the specific product instructions.
• Fertility treatment often requires precise timing, so do not change, delay, or repeat a dose without medical advice.
• Do not self-administer unless your healthcare professional has specifically trained and instructed you to do so.
• Follow your fertility specialist's monitoring schedule throughout treatment.

✔️ Side Effects of Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin

Most side effects are mild, but some require prompt medical attention.

Common Side Effects

• Pain, redness, swelling, or discomfort at the injection site
• Headache
• Tiredness
• Mood changes or irritability
• Breast tenderness
• Mild fluid retention or swelling

✔️ Serious Side Effects

Women undergoing fertility treatment should be particularly alert for symptoms of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), which can occasionally become serious.

Contact your doctor urgently if you develop:

• Severe pelvic or abdominal pain
• Significant abdominal bloating
• Sudden or rapid weight gain
• Severe nausea, vomiting, or diarrhoea
• Reduced urination
• Difficulty breathing
• Swelling or pain in the legs
• Symptoms suggesting a blood clot
• Hives, facial swelling, or difficulty breathing indicating a serious allergic reaction

✔️ Supports Ovulation & Fertility

In women, hCG can act like the body's natural LH surge, helping complete follicular maturation and trigger ovulation. This makes it an important component of certain medically supervised fertility protocols.

✔️ Promotes Testosterone Production

In men with hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, hCG stimulates the Leydig cells in the testes, encouraging natural testosterone production and supporting reproductive function.

✔️ Supports Sperm Production

When used alongside appropriate FSH treatment, hCG may help create the hormonal environment required for sperm production in men with certain forms of infertility.

✔️ Diet & Lifestyle During Fertility Treatment

A healthy lifestyle can complement medically supervised fertility treatment:

• Choose a balanced diet rich in vegetables, whole grains, lean protein, and nutrient-dense foods.
• Avoid smoking, as it can negatively affect reproductive health.
• Limit or avoid alcohol, particularly when pregnancy is possible.
• Follow your healthcare provider's advice regarding exercise during ovarian stimulation.
• Use relaxation techniques such as gentle breathing exercises, mindfulness, or counselling to manage treatment-related stress.

✔️ Special Advice

Timing matters in fertility treatment. Keep a clear record of your injection schedule and follow your doctor's instructions precisely. Regular ultrasound and laboratory monitoring may be required to assess follicular development and treatment response.

Women receiving ovarian stimulation should be especially aware of OHSS. Seek medical attention promptly if you experience severe abdominal or pelvic pain, marked bloating, sudden weight gain, breathing difficulty, persistent vomiting, swelling, or reduced urine output.

✔️ Drug Interactions

Tell your doctor about every medicine, vitamin, supplement, or fertility treatment you are taking. When hCG is combined with other gonadotropins or ovarian-stimulating medicines, careful monitoring may be necessary because excessive ovarian stimulation can occur.

✔️ Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

hCG should not be used as a fertility treatment during pregnancy. If pregnancy occurs during treatment, contact your healthcare provider.

Use during breastfeeding should only be considered when specifically advised by a healthcare professional.

✔️ Before starting hCG treatment, tell your doctor if you have:

Kidney disease

• Heart disease or a history of heart failure
• High blood pressure
• Asthma
• Epilepsy or seizures
• Migraine
• A history of blood clots
• Any previous allergic reaction to gonadotropins

Men with androgen-dependent cancers, such as prostate cancer, should not use hCG unless specifically evaluated and directed by a specialist.

In boys, hCG can stimulate testosterone production and may cause premature sexual development. Treatment should therefore be carefully monitored.

✔️ Storage

Store Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin according to the specific product's label instructions. Some preparations require refrigeration at 2–8°C, while certain products may permit limited storage below 25°C. Do not freeze, and protect the medicine from light and moisture where applicable.
