Product Introduction
Ovipure 5000IU Injection is an antineoplastic drug belonging to the class of luteinising hormone analogues, containing the active ingredient chorionic gonadotrophin. This medicine is used primarily in fertility treatment to stimulate ovulation in women undergoing in vitro fertilisation (IVF). The drug can also be used to stimulate testosterone production in males with hypogonadism (insufficient testosterone produced by the body). It is indicated for treatment of undescended testicles (failure of testes to descend from a higher to a lower position). Common side effects associated with this medicine include pain, redness, and swelling at the injection site, headache, fatigue, depression, and fluid retention. Notify your healthcare provider if these side effects are troublesome or persist longer than expected. This medicine may increase the risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome. Contact your doctor if you experience lower abdominal pain, rapid weight gain, or breathing difficulty. Ovipure 5000IU Injection is contraindicated in pregnant women, as it may cause harm to the developing fetus. Caution is advised if you have a medical history of blood clots, heart disease, liver disease, or kidney disease; use should be managed carefully by your healthcare professionals. If you have an allergy to this injection, report this to your doctor immediately.
