Fertigyn Injection (Generic Human Chorionic Injection)

Uses of Fertigyn Injections

Fertigyn Injection (Generic Human Chorionic Gonadotropin Injection) is a drug whose actions are almost the same as those of luteinizing hormone (LH), which is produced by the pituitary gland. It is a hormone also normally produced by the placenta in pregnancy. Chorionic gonadotropin has different uses for females and males. In females, chorionic gonadotropin is used to help conception occur. It is usually given in combination with other drugs such as menotropins and urofollitropin. Many women being treated with these drugs usually have already tried clomiphene alone (e.g., Serophene) and have not been able to conceive yet. Chorionic gonadotropin is also used in in vitro fertilization (IVF) programs.

Gonadotropin

Uses of Fertigyn Injections

In males, LH and chorionic gonadotropin stimulate the testes to produce male hormones such as testosterone. Testosterone causes the enlargement of the penis and testes and the growth of pubic and underarm hair. It also increases the production of sperm. Although chorionic gonadotropin has been prescribed to help some patients lose weight, it should never be used this way. When used improperly, chorionic gonadotropin can cause serious problems. Chorionic gonadotropin is to be administered only by or under the immediate supervision of your doctor.

© Clearsky Pharmacy ( www.clearskypharmacy.biz ) Fertigyn Injection (Generic Human Chorionic Gonadotropin Injection) Warnings Human Chorionic Gonadotropin Injection (Fertigyn) should be used in conjunction with Human Menopausal Gonadotropins (HMG) only by doctors experienced with infertility problems who are familiar with the criteria for patient selection, contraindications, warnings, precautions, and side effects described for menotropins. The principal serious adverse reactions during this use are: (1) Ovarian hyperstimulation, a syndrome of sudden ovarian enlargement, ascites with or without pain, and/or pleural effusion; (2) Enlargement of preexisting ovarian cysts or rupture of ovarian cysts with resultant hemoperitoneum; (3) Multiple births, and (4) Arterial thromboembolism.

Anaphylaxis and other hypersensitivity reactions have been reported with urinary-derived HCG products. If high doses of u-hCG are administered in males, the androgens may cause fluid retention. In such instances, the dose should be reduced considerably, particularly in patients with latent or overt cardiac or renal disease, hypertension, epilepsy, migraine or asthma (or a history of these conditions). Induction of androgen secretion by HCG may induce precocious puberty in patients treated for cryptorchidism. Therapy should be discontinued if signs of precocious puberty occur.

Fertigyn Injections During Pregnancy Human Chorionic Gonadotropin Injection (Fertigyn) is classified by the US FDA as Pregnancy Category X and is contraindicated after conception has occurred. When administered to mice, animal derived formulations of exogenous HCG have induced a high incidence of external congenital anomalies. Defects of forelimbs and central nervous system and alterations in sex ratio have been reported in mice receiving combined gonadotropin and Chorionic Gonadotropin therapy in dosages to induce superovulation. Therefore, pregnancy should be ruled out prior to the administration of HCG with each fertility treatment course. In addition to potential effects on the fetus, protocols using HCG inherently increase the risk of multiple gestation and the risks associated with such pregnancies. Do not use this medication if you are pregnant. Inform your doctor immediately if you become pregnant during treatment. URL: https://www.clearskypharmacy.biz/fertigyn-hcg-injection.html
