Pharmaceutical name: Human Chorionic Gonadotropin

Pack: 1 ampoule (2000 iu +solution)

HCG Sifasi-HP 2000iu is a polypeptide hormone also known as Human Chorionic Gonadotropin or HCG. This hormone is produced during the fertilization of an egg or by syntrophoblast soon after conception. HCG Sifasi-HP 2000iu supports normal egg growth and facilitates the release of the egg from the ovary during ovulation.

HCG Sifasi-HP 2000iu is a highly purified medication administered via muscle injection to address infertility in women, low sperm counts in men, and disorders related to the pituitary gland, particularly conditions affecting the normal maturation and descent of testicles in young boys.

Produced by Serum Institute in India, HCG Sifasi-HP 2000iu comes in various strength ampoules. Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) is synthesized by the syncytiotrophoblast, a part of the fertilized egg, post-conception. This hormone plays a crucial role in the typical development of eggs within a woman’s ovaries and triggers egg release during ovulation.

HCG serves a significant purpose in treating female infertility and enhancing male sperm production. It is available as a pack containing sterile lyophilized powder along with the solvent (bacteriostatic water).

Human Chorionic Gonadotropin is prescribed under several conditions, including: treating infertility in women, boosting sperm count, and addressing cases in young boys where the testicles have not descended into the scrotum appropriately.

This water-soluble glycoprotein is derived from the urine of pregnant women and consists of two subunits: alpha and beta. A single injection of HCG can induce ovulation approximately 38 to 40 hours later. HCG is similar to luteinizing hormone (LH), which, along with follicle stimulating hormone, is important for the development and maturation of ovarian follicles and the initiation of ovulation during the mid-cycle LH surge. HCG mimics LH, stimulating the ovulation process in women facing infertility and promoting progesterone production from the corpus luteum of the ovary.

In men, HCG also encourages testosterone production and increases sperm counts by acting on the testicular interstitial cells, which leads to androgen production.
