Chorionic Gonadotrophin for Injection IP 5000 IU is a hormone-based injection used to treat fertility problems in both men and women. It contains Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG), a natural hormone that helps stimulate ovulation in women and increases sperm count in men.
This medicine is commonly prescribed for the treatment of female infertility, male hypogonadism (delayed puberty, low testosterone), and undescended testicles in young boys. In women, it triggers the release of an egg (ovulation), which helps in conception. In men, it supports the production of testosterone and promotes the normal development of male reproductive organs.
Treatment of Female Infertility
Treatment of Male Hypogonadism (low testosterone levels)
Treatment of Cryptorchidism (undescended testicles in boys)
Chorionic Gonadotrophin Injection helps induce ovulation (release of an egg from the ovary) in women who are unable to conceive due to hormonal imbalances. It is usually given after treatment with follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) to support egg release and improve the chances of successful conception.
In men, this injection boosts testosterone production, which helps in the development of secondary sexual characteristics such as muscle growth, deepening of the voice, and hair growth. It also improves sperm count and fertility.
In young boys, this injection helps the testicles descend into the scrotum by stimulating natural hormonal activity during early development.
This medicine is administered by a doctor or nurse as an intramuscular or subcutaneous injection. Do not self-administer. The dose and duration depend on the condition being treated and your doctor’s recommendations.
Follow your doctor’s instructions carefully to achieve the best results from the treatment.
Chorionic Gonadotrophin (hCG) mimics the action of the natural hormone luteinizing hormone (LH), which is essential for reproduction.
In women, it stimulates the release of mature eggs from the ovaries (ovulation).
In men, it stimulates the testes to produce testosterone and sperm.
Thus, it plays a key role in treating infertility and hormonal imbalance in both sexes.
