Product Introduction
Lupi-HCG 5000IU Injection is an antineoplastic agent belonging to the class of luteinising hormone analogues, containing the active ingredient chorionic gonadotrophin. This medicine is primarily indicated in fertility treatment to stimulate ovulation in women undergoing in vitro fertilisation (IVF). In male patients with hypogonadism (insufficient testosterone production), this medicine stimulates testosterone production. It is also used to treat cryptorchidism (undescended testes). Common side effects include pain, redness, and swelling at the injection site, headache, fatigue, depression, and fluid retention. Inform your healthcare provider if these side effects are concerning or persist beyond the expected duration. This medicine may increase the risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience lower abdominal pain, rapid weight gain, or breathing difficulty. Lupi-HCG 5000IU Injection is contraindicated in pregnant women as it may harm fetal development. Exercise caution if you have a medical history of thromboembolism, cardiac disease, hepatic disease, or renal disease; use should be managed carefully by your healthcare professional. If you have a known allergy to this injection, inform your doctor immediately.
