INTRODUCTION ABOUT MATERNA HCG 5000IU INJECTION

MATERNA HCG 5000IU INJECTION contains Chorionic gonadotropin, which belongs to the group of medicines called Gonadotropins. It is used to manage hypogonadism (deficiency of sex hormones) in men. It also helps in the release of matured ovum (eggs) from the ovaries (ovulation) among infertile women after undergoing premanagement with suitable hormonal medicines (such as menotropins or FSH).

It also helps in sustaining pregnancy during the early stages among women who experience habitual abortions. It can also be used in the management of prepubertal cryptorchidism (failure of testis to descend into the scrotum) caused by hormone deficiency in young male children (aged between 4 and 9 years).

During management with MATERNA HCG 5000IU INJECTION, your doctor would monitor your health condition through several blood tests and ultrasounds to avoid the risk of side effects like fluid accumulation, abnormally enlarged ovarian follicles, or multiple pregnancies (pregnant with more than one child), especially if you are undergoing assisted reproductive techniques.

Before receiving MATERNA HCG 5000IU INJECTION, inform your doctor if you have any forms of cancer in the ovaries, uterus, breasts, or prostate. You must also inform your doctor if you have any damage in the fallopian tubes, as management with MATERNA HCG 5000IU INJECTION may cause ectopic pregnancy (pregnancy outside of the womb) in such cases.

MATERNA HCG 5000IU INJECTION may cause a false positive pregnancy result in women who take a pregnancy test using their blood or urine. This effect may last up to 10 days even after discontinuing management with MATERNA HCG 5000IU INJECTION.

MATERNA HCG 5000IU INJECTION may be used to sustain pregnancy during the initial stages (luteal phase). However, it should not be used in the later stages of pregnancy. Therefore, consult your doctor for advice. It is also not recommended for use in breastfeeding women.

The most common side effects of MATERNA HCG 5000IU INJECTION are reaching puberty at an early age, pain at the injection site, headaches, and irritability. Consult your doctor if they worsen.

USES OF MATERNA HCG 5000IU INJECTION

• Manage prepubertal cryptorchidism (failure of testis to descend into the scrotum due to sex hormone deficiency) in male children (aged between 4 and 9 years)
• Manage male hypogonadism (failure of testis to produce male sex hormones)
• Induces ovulation among infertile women
• Supports pregnancy among women who experience habitual abortions

HOW MATERNA HCG 5000IU INJECTION WORKS

MATERNA HCG 5000IU INJECTION is a gonadotrophic hormone that stimulates the production of sex hormones in both men and women. In men, it acts by stimulating the release of androgens, which are responsible for the development of secondary sexual characteristics and for regulating the onset of puberty. It also helps to move down the testicles into the scrotum in children having undescended testis.

In women, it triggers the release of mature eggs from the ovaries and helps to sustain pregnancy by supplementing enough female sex hormones (estrogen and progesterone), which are required for maintaining a successful conception.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

MATERNA HCG 5000IU INJECTION will be given to you only by a doctor or a nurse into the muscle (intramuscularly) or under the skin (subcutaneously). Your doctor will decide the correct dose and duration of therapy for you depending upon your age, body weight, and health condition.

Q: Can MATERNA HCG 5000IU INJECTION be used in men?

A: Yes. MATERNA HCG 5000IU INJECTION can be used to manage hypogonadism and its related complications in men. It helps in the development of secondary sexual characteristics in males who experience delayed onset of puberty and moves down testis into the scrotum among patients having undescended testis.

Q: Can MATERNA HCG 5000IU INJECTION cause children to puberty at an early age?

A: Yes. MATERNA HCG 5000IU INJECTION can cause prepubertal precocity (reaching puberty in early age) and sexual precocity (development of sexual characters) in very young children due to increased production of sex hormones. Proper dose adjustments and careful monitoring during management with MATERNA HCG 5000IU INJECTION can overcome this. However, if your child shows any such changes, consult your doctor immediately. Your doctor might reduce the dose or suggest an alternative therapy.

Q: Can pregnant women use MATERNA HCG 5000IU INJECTION?

A: Although, MATERNA HCG 5000IU INJECTION helps to sustain pregnancy at the early stages (preferably from luteal phase to first 2 months), it is not recommended for use during the later stages. However, consult your doctor for advice.

Q: Can MATERNA HCG 5000IU INJECTION be used to improve sexual performance?

A: No. MATERNA HCG 5000IU INJECTION generally does not improve sexual performance. It only stimulates the release of sex hormones in men and women, which ultimately resolves infertility issues and supports better health.
