What is human chorionic gonadotropin injection?
HUMAN CHORIONIC GONADOTROPIN (also known as 'HCG', brands include A.P.L.®, Chorex®, Novarel®, Ovidrel®, Pregnyl®, Profasi®) is a hormone that is used for different reasons in men and women. Profasi has actions similar to a hormone produced by the pituitary gland in both sexes, called LH, or luteinizing hormone. Profasi can help women with fertility problems. To increase a woman's chance of getting pregnant, Profasi is used in combination with other fertility drugs. For some men or adolescent males, Profasi helps to stimulate the production of testosterone (male sex hormone) and sperm. Profasi may also be used in select male children with cryptorchidism, a specific birth problem of the testes (male sex part). Human chorionic gonadotropin injections are available from many manufacturers; not all brands are interchangeable. Ovidrel® is the only recombinant (lab-derived) Profasi product currently available.
What should my health care professional know before I receive Profasi?
They need to know if you have any of these conditions:
•asthma
•cyst on the ovary
•heart disease
•migraine
•kidney disease
•ovarian cancer or other female-related cancer
•prostate cancer or other male cancer
•seizures (convulsions)
•an unusual or allergic reaction to Profasi, other hormones, medicines, foods, dyes, or preservatives
•pregnant (this medicine should not be used if you are already pregnant)
•breast feeding
How should I use this medicine?
Profasi is usually for injection into a muscle, like the thigh or buttocks. Occasionally the injection is given under the skin instead.
For men or boys: Depending on how the Profasi will be used, the length of treatment, and your comfort, your health care professional may teach you how to give your own injections. Otherwise the injections will be given by a trained health care professional in the prescriber's office, clinic, or by home health care.
For women receiving infertility treatments: The Profasi injection will be given by a health care professional during the day indicated by the doctor during the fertility treatment cycle. It will be given as one dose per cycle under the direction of a doctor with experience in managing fertility disorders. You may be taught how to give this medicine to yourself. Your fertility specialist will explain the needed procedures.
Contact your pediatrician or health care professional regarding the use of this medicine in children. Special care may be needed.
What if I miss a dose?
Try not to miss a dose. If you are unable to keep an appointment to receive your dose, call your doctor to reschedule.
For men or boys: If you are giving your own injections, and miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If you forget until the next day, skip the missed dose and continue with your schedule. Do not use double or extra doses. Call your prescriber if you have any questions.
For women receiving infertility treatments: It is important not to miss a dose, as the success of your fertility treatments depends on proper use of this medication, and fertility treatments are expensive. Call your prescriber or health care professional if you are unable to keep an appointment. If you are giving your own injections, do not use double or extra doses. Call your prescriber if you have any questions.
