BUY PREGNYL (HUMAN CHORIONIC GONADOTROPIN) — 5000 IU/VIAL, 1 VIAL

PREGNYL Main Product Description 

Pregnyl (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) is a preparation containing human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), a naturally occurring polypeptide hormone associated with pregnancy. HCG is produced by the human placenta and has an important role in reproductive physiology. The supplied product information describes Pregnyl as a highly purified, pyrogen-free preparation of chorionic gonadotropin intended for injection.

Human chorionic gonadotropin consists of two subunits known as the alpha and beta subunits. The alpha subunit is essentially identical to the alpha subunits found in several human pituitary glycoprotein hormones, including luteinising hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH). The beta subunit differs between these hormones and provides the specific biological characteristics of each hormone.

What Is Human Chorionic Gonadotropin?

Human chorionic gonadotropin is a naturally occurring hormone produced by placental tissue during pregnancy. Its molecular structure places it within the family of glycoprotein hormones that includes LH, FSH and TSH.

The alpha subunit of hCG shares substantial structural similarity with the corresponding alpha subunits of LH, FSH and TSH. The beta subunit, however, has a different amino acid sequence. This combination of subunits gives hCG its specific biological activity.

Because of its relationship with LH, hCG has an important role in reproductive endocrine physiology. Its biological activity is particularly associated with the gonads and the production of sex hormones.

Pregnyl Formulation

According to the supplied information, Pregnyl is a highly purified and pyrogen-free preparation obtained from the urine of pregnant females. It is standardised using a biological assay procedure.

The supplied source describes a presentation containing sterile dried powder together with phosphate salts. The powder formulation includes:

• Monobasic sodium phosphate
• Dibasic sodium phosphate

The pH may be adjusted using sodium hydroxide and/or phosphoric acid when required.

The product is accompanied by a separate solvent vial. According to the supplied information, the solvent contains water for injection, sodium chloride and benzyl alcohol. The supplied source specifically states that the benzyl alcohol-containing solvent is not intended for use in newborns.

Biological Activity

HCG belongs to the group of gonadotrophins and has biological activity related to LH. Through this activity, hCG can influence gonadal function and steroid hormone production.

In males, hCG’s LH-like activity is associated with stimulation of the testes and testosterone production. In females, naturally occurring hCG has an important physiological role during pregnancy, particularly in supporting the corpus luteum during early pregnancy.

The clinical use of hCG depends on the underlying medical indication and should be determined by an appropriately qualified healthcare professional.

Injection and Handling

Pregnyl is supplied as a sterile dried powder requiring appropriate preparation before administration. The supplied information describes the product as intended for injection.

Because injectable medicines require appropriate preparation, handling and administration, Pregnyl should be prepared and administered only according to the applicable prescribing information and instructions provided by a qualified healthcare professional.

The supplied product information describes the solvent separately from the active powder. The correct solvent and preparation procedure should therefore be confirmed from the official product documentation accompanying the specific presentation.

Important Information

Pregnyl is a prescription-type hormonal medicine and should be used under appropriate medical supervision. HCG affects the reproductive endocrine system, so its use should be based on a suitable medical assessment.
