Medicine overview
Ovidac 10000 IU Injection contains human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), a gonadotropin hormone with activity similar to luteinizing hormone (LH). The 10,000 IU strength is supplied as an injectable fertility and hormonal medicine. In women receiving fertility treatment, hCG can provide the hormonal signal that triggers final follicular maturation and ovulation. Chorionic gonadotropin is also used in selected males with hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, where it stimulates the testes to produce androgens such as testosterone.
What it is used for
Chorionic gonadotropin is used to induce ovulation and pregnancy in appropriately selected women whose anovulation is secondary rather than caused by primary ovarian failure and who have received preceding gonadotropin treatment. It is also used in selected males with hypogonadotropic hypogonadism. Treatment for infertility requires specialist assessment and monitoring because the medicine can produce a substantial ovarian response.
How it works
Human chorionic gonadotropin acts in a similar way to luteinizing hormone (LH), one of the body's reproductive hormones. In women, it can reproduce the effect of the natural mid-cycle LH surge, promoting final follicular maturation and triggering ovulation. In males, hCG stimulates Leydig cells in the testes to produce androgens, including testosterone. These hormonal effects explain its established roles in ovulation induction and selected forms of male hypogonadism.
How it is taken
Ovidac 10000 IU is an injection and should be used only according to the prescribing clinician's instructions. In fertility treatment, the timing of hCG is determined from the ovarian response to preceding stimulation; ultrasound and serum estradiol measurements may be used to assess follicular development and determine when the ovulatory trigger should be given. Do not create or change the injection dose or timing without the treating fertility specialist's instructions.
Important warnings
Do not use chorionic gonadotropin in patients with previous hypersensitivity to hCG/human gonadotropins or relevant excipients. Contraindications described for chorionic gonadotropin include primary gonadal failure in women, uncontrolled thyroid/adrenal/pituitary disorders, certain hormone-related or reproductive tumors, reproductive-organ abnormalities or uterine fibroids incompatible with pregnancy, and unexplained vaginal bleeding. In women undergoing ovarian stimulation, an important risk is ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), which can become life-threatening. Severe pelvic or abdominal pain, marked bloating, rapid weight gain, persistent nausea or vomiting, reduced urination, or difficulty breathing requires prompt medical assessment. Thromboembolic events, ovarian torsion and multiple pregnancy are additional important risks. hCG can cause fluid retention and requires caution with cardiac or renal disease, hypertension, epilepsy, migraine or asthma.
Side effects and monitoring
Reported effects of chorionic gonadotropin include headache, fatigue, edema, irritability, restlessness, depression, and injection-site pain, redness, bruising, swelling or itching. Women undergoing ovarian stimulation may develop abdominal discomfort, nausea or diarrhea as part of mild OHSS. Serious reactions include severe OHSS, anaphylaxis, thromboembolism, ovarian torsion and pulmonary complications. Seek urgent medical attention for severe abdominal or pelvic pain, rapid weight gain, significant abdominal swelling, breathing difficulty, markedly reduced urination, or symptoms of a serious allergic or thrombotic reaction. Fertility treatment requires monitoring of ovarian response, commonly with ultrasound and serum estradiol measurements.
Pregnancy
Chorionic gonadotropin is used to help induce ovulation and pregnancy but is not indicated as routine treatment during an established pregnancy. Current prescribing information for urinary-derived hCG states that there are no adequate data on its use during pregnancy and describes discontinuation upon confirmation of pregnancy when used for luteal-phase support. Follow the fertility specialist's instructions if pregnancy is suspected or confirmed.
Breastfeeding
It is not known whether chorionic gonadotropin is excreted in human milk. Use during breastfeeding requires clinical assessment of the mother's need for treatment together with potential effects on the breastfed child.
Storage
Store Ovidac 10000 IU Injection refrigerated at 2°C to 8°C. Do not freeze.
Frequently asked questions
What should I expect after an hCG trigger injection?
Some people have few noticeable effects, while reported effects of hCG include headache, fatigue and injection-site reactions. Abdominal discomfort or nausea can also occur during ovarian stimulation, but severe or rapidly worsening symptoms require medical assessment.
Can an hCG trigger shot cause a positive pregnancy test?
Yes. Pregnancy tests detect hCG, so an hCG injection can interfere with tests performed after treatment. Follow the fertility clinic's instructions about when pregnancy testing should be performed.
How is the timing of Ovidac decided during fertility treatment?
The timing is determined by the fertility specialist based on ovarian response. Ultrasound and sometimes serum estradiol measurements are used to assess follicular development before an hCG ovulation trigger is given.
What symptoms of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome should I watch for?
Seek prompt medical attention for severe pelvic or abdominal pain, marked abdominal swelling, rapid weight gain, persistent nausea or vomiting, reduced urination or difficulty breathing. These can be warning signs of significant OHSS.
Does hCG fertility treatment increase the chance of twins or other multiple pregnancies?
It can. Multiple gestation and multiple births are recognized risks when gonadotropins, including hCG, are used for ovulation induction.
Does Ovidac need to stay refrigerated?
Yes. Current product information for Ovidac 10000 IU states that it should be stored at 2°C to 8°C and should not be frozen.
Can Cheap Generic Med ship Ovidac to the United States?
Cheap Generic Med serves the United States under its international shipping model, but product-specific temperature-controlled shipping for Ovidac is NOT VERIFIED. Because this medicine requires refrigerated storage, standard shipping information alone is not sufficient to confirm suitable shipment.
Is Ovidac 10000 IU a prescription medicine?
Yes. Ovidac 10000 IU is listed as requiring a prescription, and chorionic gonadotropin injection is a prescription medicine. Prescription and import requirements can differ between countries.
