Pregnyl 5000iu
The primary constituent of Pregnyl 5000 Iu injection is the human chorionic gonadotropin hormone. Which are a primary sex hormone that is obtained from the placental cell of pregnant women and is used to treat infertility in women and men? It is also used to treat delayed puberty issues in children.
This medication is a hormone used in boys (before puberty) to cause the normal dropping of the testicles into the scrotum. It is also used in certain boys to help with normal sexual development. It works by causing the testes to release male sex hormones (e.g., testosterone).
This medication is also used in women to treat fertility problems. It is given after finishing another medication (menotropins) to cause the release of an egg (ovulation). It should not be used in women whose ovaries no longer make eggs properly (primary ovarian failure).
This medication has not been shown to be effective for weight loss and should not be used for this purpose due to the risk of serious side effects.
Regarding endogenous forms of HCG, there are various ways to categorize and measure them, including total HCG, C - terminal peptide total HCG, intact HCG, free beta-subunit HCG, beta – core fragment HCG, hyperglycosylated HCG, nicked HCG, alpha HCGand pituitary HCG.
Regular HCG is the main form of HCG associated with the majority of pregnancy and in non – invasive molar pregnancies. This is produced in the trophoblast cells of the placental tissue. Hyperplycosylated HCG is the main form of HCG during the implantation phase f pregnancy, with invasive molar pregnancies, and with choriocarcinoma.
Regarding pharmaceutical preparations of HCG from animal or synthetic sources, there are many gonadotropin preparations, some of which are medically justified and others of which are of a quack nature.
In the women, chorionic gonadotropin interacts with the LHCG receptor of the ovary and promotes the maintenance of the corpus luteum during the beginning of the pregnancy. This allows the corpus lutem to secrete the hormone progesterone during the first trimester. Progesterone enriches the uterus with a thick lining of blood vessels and capillaries so that it can sustain the growing fetus. So this injection promotes the production of that human chorionic gonadotropic hormone so it is equally very effective for both males and females.
