Product Introduction
Ovidac 5000IU Injection is an antineoplastic drug belonging to the class of luteinising hormone analogues, containing the active ingredient chorionic gonadotrophin. This medicine is principally used in fertility treatment to stimulate ovulation in women undergoing in vitro fertilisation (IVF). It can also be used to stimulate testosterone production in males with hypogonadism (inadequate testosterone production by the body). It is additionally used to treat undescended testicles (movement of testes from a higher position to a lower one). Common side effects associated with this medicine include pain, redness, swelling at the injection site, headache, fatigue, depression, and fluid retention. Inform your healthcare provider if these side effects are concerning or persist longer than expected. This medicine may increase the risk of developing ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome. Contact your doctor if you experience lower abdominal pain, rapid weight gain, or difficulty breathing. Ovidac 5000IU Injection is not recommended for pregnant women, as it may harm fetal development. If you have a medical history of blood clots, heart disease, liver disease, or kidney disease, use of this injection requires caution and should be determined by your healthcare professional. If you have an allergy to this injection, report this to your doctor immediately.
