Vitagon Injection (Generic Human Chorionic Gonadotropin Injection)

Vitagon Injection (Generic Human Chorionic Gonadotropin Injection) is used for the induction of ovulation and pregnancy in the anovulatory, infertile woman in whom the cause of anovulation is secondary and not due to primary ovarian failure. In children affected by cryptorchidism it induces the maturation of the underdeveloped testicle, the growth of the too short spermatic cord and the descent of the testicle.

It is also used for selected cases of hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (hypogonadism secondary to a pituitary deficiency) in males.

Uses of Vitagon 1500 iu and 5000 iu Injections

Vitagon Injection (Generic Human Chorionic Gonadotropin Injection) is a medicine 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., Promifen tablets by Alpha Pharma) and have not been able to conceive yet.

Uses of Vitagon 1500 iu and 5000 iu Injections

Chorionic gonadotropin is also used in in vitro fertilization (IVF) programs.

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.
