Uses of HCG Injections (Chorionic Gonadotropin)

HCG Injections (Chorionic Gonadotropin for injection, USP) is a extremely purified pyrogen-free preparation prepared from the urine of pregnant females.

The dosage of HCG injection has to be administered Intramuscularly. It will depend upon the indication for use, the age and weight of the patient, and the doctor’s preference.

The dose for induction of ovulation and pregnancy in the anovulatory, infertile woman in whom the cause of anovulation is sec ondary and not due to primary ovarian failure and who has been appropriately pretreated with human menotropins is 5,000 to 10,000 USP units one day following the last dose of menotropins.

Human Chorionic Gonadotropin Injection Contraindications

Human Chorionic Gonadotropin Injection are contraindicated in patients with Precocious puberty, prostatic carcinoma or other androgen-dependent neoplasm, prior allergic reaction to HCG.

HCG can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Combined treatment with HCG/PMS (pregnant mare's serum) has been observed to cause high incidences of external congenital anomalies in the offspring of mice, in a dose-dependent manner.

Human Chorionic Gonadotropin Injection Side Effects

The possible side effects of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin injection include Headache, irritability, restlessness, depression, fatigue, edema, precocious puberty, gynecomastia, pain at the site of injection.

Hypersensitivity reactions both localized and systemic in nature, including erythema, urticaria, rash, angioedema, dyspnea and shortness of breath, have been reported. The relationship of these allergic-like events to the polypeptide hormone or the diluent containing benzyl alcohol is not clear.

Warnings and Precautions When Using HCG Injection

The precautions are as follows:

General Precautions:
1. 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.
2. Since androgens may cause fluid retention, HCG shots should be used with caution in patients with cardiac or renal disease, epilepsy, migraine, or asthma.

Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility:
There have been sporadic reports of testicular tumors in otherwise healthy young men receiving HCG injections for secondary infertility. A causative relationship between HCG and tumor development in these men has not been established.

Warnings:
HCG injection should be used in conjunction with human menopausal gonadotropins only by physicians 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.

HCG Overdosage

The acute toxicity of urinary gonadotropin medications has been shown to be very low. Despite this, there exists a possibility that too high a dosage of hCG can lead to ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome.

Human Chorionic Gonadotropin Injection During Pregnancy

Human Chorionic Gonadotropin Injection has been classified by the US FDA as Pregnancy Category X. Do not use this medicine without your doctor's consent in case you are pregnant. Stop using this medication and inform your doctor immediately if you become pregnant during treatment.

Combined HCG/PMS (pregnant mare's serum) therapy has been observed to cause high incidences of external congenital anomalies in the offspring of mice, in a dose-dependent manner. The potential for causing similar effects in humans has not been determined.

Nursing Considerations

It is not known whether Human Chorionic Gonadotropin is excreted in human milk. Because many drugs are excreted in human milk, caution should be exercised when HCG injection is administered to a nursing woman.
Do not use this medication without telling your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.
