Introduction About INTAS HCG 2000IU INJECTION

INTAS HCG 2000IU INJECTION contains Chorionic gonadotropin, which belongs to the
group of medicines called Gonadotropins. It is used to manage hypogonadism
(deficiency of sex hormones) in men. It also helps in the release of matured
ovum (eggs) from the ovaries (ovulation) among infertile women after undergoing
premanagement with suitable hormonal medicines (such as menotropins or FSH).

It also helps in sustaining pregnancy during the early stages among women who
experience habitual abortions. It can also be used in the management of
prepubertal cryptorchidism (failure of testis to descend into the scrotum)
caused by hormone deficiency in young male children (aged between 4 and 9
years).

During management with INTAS HCG 2000IU INJECTION, your doctor would monitor
your health condition through several blood tests and ultrasounds to avoid the
risk of side effects like fluid accumulation, abnormally enlarged ovarian
follicles, or multiple pregnancies (pregnant with more than one child),
especially if you are undergoing assisted reproductive techniques.

Before receiving INTAS HCG 2000IU INJECTION, inform your doctor if you have any
forms of cancer in the ovaries, uterus, breasts, or prostate. You must also
inform your doctor if you have any damage in the fallopian tubes, as management
with INTAS HCG 2000IU INJECTION may cause ectopic pregnancy (pregnancy outside
of the womb) in such cases.

INTAS HCG 2000IU INJECTION may cause a false positive pregnancy result in women
who take a pregnancy test using their blood or urine. This effect may last up to
10 days even after discontinuing management with INTAS HCG 2000IU INJECTION.

INTAS HCG 2000IU INJECTION may be used to sustain pregnancy during the initial
stages (luteal phase). However, it should not be used in the later stages of
pregnancy. Therefore, consult your doctor for advice. It is also not recommended
for use in breastfeeding women.

The most common side effects of INTAS HCG 2000IU INJECTION are reaching puberty
at an early age, pain at the injection site, headaches, and irritability.
Consult your doctor if they worsen.

How INTAS HCG 2000IU INJECTION Works

INTAS HCG 2000IU INJECTION is a gonadotrophic hormone that stimulates the

sexual characteristics and for regulating the onset of puberty. It also helps to
move down the testicles into the scrotum in children having undescended testis.

In women, it triggers the release of mature eggs from the ovaries and helps to
sustain pregnancy by supplementing enough female sex hormones (estrogen and
progesterone), which are required for maintaining a successful conce
