Proficent-HCG

Proficent (HCG)

Proficent (HCG) Information 

HCG is a hormone that is naturally produced by the female placenta during a normal pregnancy. This medicine’s action is highly similar to luteinizing hormone (LH), because this hormone is known to be able to cause ovulation. If it is combined with other medicines and drugs, HCG Pregnyl is highly effective in helping female patients become pregnant. This drug can also help males patients that are suffering from fertility issues (a treatment with this medicine usually enables such cases to produce a higher amount of testosterone).

HCG Pregnyl is a popular medicine that is regularly prescribed to female patients as part of a regimen that is supposed to induce:

- Ovulation induction in subfertility that is usually triggered by impaired follicle-ripening or by anovulation. - Luteal phase support. 

- Follicle preparation for puncture in controlled ovarian hyperstimulation programs (this usually occurs in the case of medically assisted reproductive methods and techniques).

HCG Pregnyl is a medicine that is regularly prescribed to male patients because of its ability to induce

- Hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism. - Some patients who were suffering from idiopathic dysspermias have positively responded to a treatment with this medicine. - Delayed puberty which is regularly associated with an insufficient function of the gonadotrophic pituitary glands. - Cryptorchidism, (not the one that is triggered by an abnormal anatomical obstruction).
