Frequently Asked Questions:

1. What is Lupi HCG 5000 IU Injection used for?
Lupi HCG 5000 IU contains Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG), a hormone that may be prescribed in the management of certain types of infertility. In women, it may help trigger ovulation; in men, it may support testosterone production and sperm development. However, outcomes may vary significantly depending on individual clinical circumstances.

2. How does HCG work?
HCG is believed to mimic the action of Luteinizing Hormone (LH). In women, it may trigger the release of eggs from the ovaries (ovulation induction). In men, it may stimulate testosterone production and support spermatogenesis. The clinical effect depends on the individual patient's hormonal profile and response.

3. How is Lupi HCG 5000 IU administered?
It is typically given as an intramuscular (IM) or subcutaneous injection. Administration is usually performed by a trained healthcare professional in a clinical setting.

Dosing varies based on the clinical indication:
•         For ovulation induction: doses in the range of 5000–10,000 IU may be used as a single injection
•         For male infertility: dosing protocols vary based on the treatment plan
Your doctor will determine the appropriate dose and schedule for your specific condition.

5. Can Lupi HCG be used for weight loss?

8. Is Lupi HCG safe during pregnancy?
HCG is a naturally occurring pregnancy hormone, but its use during pregnancy must be guided entirely by a qualified physician. It should not be self-administered or used outside of a prescribed fertility treatment programme.
