HUCOG 5000
₹438.33
HUCOG 5000 IU Injection is a prescription hormonal medication containing human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), used primarily in fertility treatments to induce ovulation in women and treat hypogonadism in men.
Uses and Benefits
HUCOG 5000 is used in both men and women to address specific hormonal imbalances and fertility issues:
- Female Infertility: As a “trigger shot” in IVF and other assisted reproductive technologies (ART), it helps in the final maturation of the egg and stimulates its release from the ovary (ovulation), increasing the chance of pregnancy.
- Male Hypogonadism: In men with low testosterone and sperm counts, it helps restore hormonal balance and improves sperm production.
- Undescended Testicles (Cryptorchidism): It can be used in young boys (ages 4-9) with hormone deficiencies to help the testicles move down into the scrotum.
Key Information and Safety
- Administration: The injection must be administered by a healthcare professional, either into a muscle (intramuscularly) or under the skin (subcutaneously). It often comes as a powder and solvent that must be mixed correctly before use.
- Monitoring: Regular monitoring through blood tests and ultrasounds is crucial during treatment to manage risks such as ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) in women and early puberty in children.
- Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: It is generally considered unsafe during pregnancy (except in the very early stages under strict medical supervision) and should be avoided while breastfeeding.
- Alcohol: Caution is advised when consuming alcohol during treatment, and a doctor should be consulted for personalized advice.
- False-Positive Pregnancy Tests: The medication itself contains hCG, which can lead to false-positive results on home pregnancy tests for up to 10 days after the last injection.

Most side effects are temporary and do not require medical attention. Contact your doctor if they persist or become severe.
