Things that you should know about human chorionic gonadotropin medication
by Richard Brody Richard BrodyHuman chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) is a hormone produced by placenta. The levels of HCG are used to detect pregnancy. However, a type of HCG is also produced by the pituitary gland and known as luteinizing hormone (LH). LH is produced in males and females of all ages. HCG is used as medication in women with ovulation problems and infertility. It is also used in men with undescended testicles or low sperm count. Human chorionic gonadotropin medication is associated with potentially severe health risks if taken without proper medical consultation. Therefore, it is important to know about the effects and side effects of this medication.
Mode of administration
HCG is typically available in the form of an injectable formulation that is to be injected subcutaneously or intramuscularly. Patients who administer the medication themselves are required to follow the instructions given by the prescribing doctor or dispensing pharmacist. In case of any doubt or trouble, it is best to get it injected by a registered health professional.
What to do after the injection
After injecting the medicine, you should dispose the syringe and needle carefully and properly in the designated waste. Ensure that needles and syringes are properly discarded after single use. Observe the injection site for redness, rash, warmth, numbness or tingling. Also look out for warning signs like dizziness, headache or numbness in arms or legs and call the doctor immediately if you notice any of these happening.
Side effects of HCG injections
When you buy HCG injections, you should ask the pharmacist about the side effects associated with it. Some patients may experience extreme pelvic pain, swelling in extremities, abdominal pain and bloating, shortness of breath, diarrhoeaand nausea. In young boys, HCG medication may cause early puberty and severe acne.
Who should not take human chorionic gonadotropin medication?
People who have had an allergic reaction to HCG or suffer from early puberty or hormone related cancer should not take this medication. Also, this medicine is contraindicated in pregnant women as it may cause birth defects in the baby. Women with uterine cysts or unexplained uterine bleeding should not take this medicine. Additionally, patients with heart disease, kidney problems, asthma or epilepsy should inform the doctor of their condition before starting this medication.
Storage conditions
HCG medication should be kept in a cool, dry place that is away from direct sunlight and heat. Refrigerate opened vials until next use and discard opened vials if not used for 30 days after opening them.
When you buy HCG online, you may receive a ready-to-inject liquid or two separate packages containing HCG powder and the liquid in which the powder has to be dissolved before injecting. Both are safe for use but if using the powder mixing technique, make sure that there are no undissolved particles at the time of injection. It is important to take only the prescribed dose of HCG medication and discuss with the doctor about any specific food or beverages that have to be avoided while taking this medication.
