HCG Sifasi-HP 5000iu is a polypeptide hormone known as Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG). This hormone is produced during the fertilization of the egg or by the syntrophoblast after conception. HCG Sifasi-HP 5000iu promotes the normal growth of the egg and facilitates its release from the ovary during ovulation.

 

HCG Sifasi-HP 5000iu is a highly purified medication administered via injection into the muscle to treat infertility in women, address low sperm counts in men, and assist with disorders of the pituitary gland, particularly conditions that prevent the testicles in young boys from maturing and descending properly.

 

HCG plays a significant role in treating infertility in women and increasing sperm production in men. It comes as a pack containing sterile lyophilized powder and the solvent (bacteriostatic water).

 

The conditions it treats include: Human Chorionic Gonadotropin is prescribed for the following situations: treating women's infertility, increasing sperm count, and aiding young boys whose testicles have not descended into the scrotum correctly.

 

Human Chorionic Gonadotropin is a water-soluble glycoprotein derived from the urine of pregnant women. HCG consists of two subunits, alpha and beta. A single injection of HCG can trigger ovulation within 38 to 40 hours. HCG functions as an analogue of luteinizing hormone (LH). Luteinizing hormone, along with follicle-stimulating hormone, is essential for the development and maturation of normal ovarian follicles and prompts ovulation during the mid-cycle LH surge. HCG mimics LH's role in the body and stimulates the ovulation process in women facing infertility. HCG also encourages the Corpus Luteum of the ovary to produce progesterone.

 

In men, HCG promotes the production of testosterone and boosts sperm count. It acts on the interstitial cells of the testis, leading to increased androgen production.
