Indications
- Ovulation induction in infertility due to anovulation or impaired follicle-ripening in females
- Preparation of follicles for puncture in controlled ovarian hyperstimulation programs (ART) in females
- Luteal phase support in females
- Threatened and habitual abortion in females
- Hypogonadotropic hypogonadism in males
- Delayed puberty associated with insufficient gonadotropic pituitary function in males
- Cryptorchidism treatment (not due to anatomical obstruction) in males
- Treatment of oligospermia in males
Pharmacology
- Highly Purified Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin has LH activity
- LH indispensable in normal female and male gamete growth and maturation, and gonadal steroid production
- Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin given as a substitute for the endogenous mid-cycle LH surge to induce the final phase of follicular maturation, leading to ovulation in females
- Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin given as a substitute for endogenous LH during the luteal phase in females
- Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin given to stimulate Leydig cells to promote the production of testosterone in males
- Maximal Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin plasma levels reached approximately six hours after a single injection
- Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin is approximately 80 percent metabolized, predominantly in the kidneys
- Following intramuscular injection (IM) the apparent elimination half-life of Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin is about 2 days
Dosage & Administration
- Reconstituted Human Menopausal Gonadotrophin solution should be slowly administered intramuscularly in females
- Dosage regimen for ovulation induction and preparation of follicles for puncture ranges from 5000-10000IU Human Menopausal Gonadotrophin
- Luteal phase support requires repeat injections of 2500 to 5000IU in females
- Threatened & habitual abortion treatment involves giving 5000IU Human Menopausal Gonadotrophin as deep intramuscular injection twice weekly in females
- Hypogonadotropic hypogonadism treatment involves 2500 to 5000 IU Human Menopausal Gonadotrophin, two times per week in males

Precautions & Warnings
- Increased risk of multiple births in pregnancies occurring after induction of ovulation with gonadotropic preparations
- Unwanted ovarian hyperstimulation in females
- Ultrasonic assessment of follicular development and estrogen level monitoring recommended prior to FSH-treatment
