Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) 

Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) 

is a hormone produced during pregnancy. In medicine, prescription hCG is used for specific clinical purposes and should only be taken under the supervision of a licensed healthcare provider.

What Is hCG Used For?

Healthcare providers may prescribe hCG for approved uses such as:

• Supporting fertility treatments

• Treating certain hormone-related conditions in males

Treatment plans vary based on individual medical needs and health history.

How Does hCG Work?

hCG mimics luteinizing hormone (LH), helping stimulate hormone production and support reproductive function. Because it affects hormone levels, it must be used exactly as directed by a healthcare professional.

Important Safety Information

hCG is not suitable for everyone. Patients should discuss their medical history, medications, and health conditions with a provider before starting treatment. Side effects or interactions may occur, so medical guidance is essential.

Storage and Handling

Store hCG according to manufacturer instructions. Requirements may vary depending on the formulation. Always follow guidance from your pharmacist or provider.
