Ovidac 5000 i.u

Ovidac 500 i.u contains a hormone called Human chorionic Gonadotropin that assists in the development of an egg in an ovary and stimulates the egg's release during a process called ovulation in women. Human chorionic gonadotropin hormone or HCG is produced naturally by the body. Doctors may prescribe this medicine to cause ovulation which helps to treat infertility in women. This increases the chance of conceiving. HCG is given by a health care expert who is experienced in injecting the medicine. You should use this medication as prescribed for it to be effective. You may be asked to continue to take it until you get pregnant.

An HCG shot is also effective in treating hypogonadism in males. Hypogonadism is defined as the improper functioning of reproductive organs of males, like testicles which cause an interruption in the production of sex hormones that require fertility. Ovidac injection helps the body to increase the body production of testosterone and improves sperm production in males. This reduces infertility and helps to treat hypogonadism in males. Follow your doctor’s prescription carefully to get the most benefit. Always listen to your doctor’s directions when taking HCG shots.
