Package: 1 vial of 2000IU

Gonadotropin is a hormone produced by the placenta during pregnancy. It is obtained by extraction and purification from urine, where it enters unchanged. HCG 2000IU (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) -based drugs are similar to luteinizing hormone, which is considered the precursor of testosterone. In this regard, they have an androgenic-anabolic effect, but compared to special sports pharmacology, they do not have such a pronounced effect in the direction of gaining muscle mass. Also, the intake of the substance does not cause the growth of power indicators and does not increase the level of endurance. Numerous studies have shown that it is better to use injections, and not in the form of tablets, since the active ingredient is absorbed much more quickly into the blood in a liquid form.

Like the luteinizing hormone, chorionic gonadotropin sends a signal through the pituitary gland to the testicles, which leads to the secretion of natural testosterone. In addition to the main action, it is able to improve the composition of sperm, enhance the severity of sexual characteristics of the secondary type, both in the female and male body. In women, it increases progesterone levels and accelerates the process of egg maturation. He also takes an active part in the development of the placenta.

Under normal conditions, the level of hCG is regulated by a reverse-type bond, in the hypothalamus-pituitary-testicles chain. Its deficiency can affect the size of the testicles, making them smaller, as well as reduce productivity. When a synthetic source of testosterone enters the body, it begins to control its level, and makes it clear that the hypothalamus-pituitary-testes are related to the fact that it is not necessary to produce gonadotropin and gonoboberlin, since it is already in excess. This deviation is connected with this, leading to the development of violations

Side effects

In women with combined treatment of infertility (in combination with menotropins or clomiphene) - ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (ovarian cyst with the danger of their rupture, the appearance of fluid in the abdominal and thoracic cavities).

Dosage and administration

Intramuscularly.

Women for the induction of ovulation - simultaneously 5-10 thousand IU, to stimulate the function of the yellow body - 1.5-5 thousand IU for 3-6-9 days after ovulation. For the implementation of "superovulation" in the course of assisted reproductive measures - up to 10 thousand MEU once after the induction of growth of multiple follicles, which is achieved as a result of stimulation according to the established scheme. Egg collection takes place 34-36 h after injection. With habitual miscarriage, the introduction begins immediately after pregnancy is diagnosed (but no later than 8 weeks) and continues until 14 weeks of pregnancy, inclusive: on day 1 - 10 thousand IU, then 5 thousand IU 2 times a week. With the threat of spontaneous miscarriage (if the symptoms appeared in the first 8 weeks of pregnancy) - 10 thousand IU initially, then 5 thousand IU 2 times a week until 14 weeks of pregnancy, inclusive.
