Presage 5000IU

Presage 5000 IU Injection

Presage 5000 IU Injection is a medication that contains Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG), which belongs to the gonadotropin family. It is used to stimulate ovulation and support the maintenance of the corpus luteum during the early stages of pregnancy.

How It Works

This injection interacts with the LHCG receptor of the ovary, promoting the secretion of progesterone by the corpus luteum. This hormone is crucial for maintaining pregnancy during the first trimester.

Indications

Presage 5000 IU Injection is indicated for various conditions, including:

• Males:
• Hypogonadotropic hypogonadism.
• Delayed puberty associated with insufficient gonadotrophic pituitary function.
• Cryptorchidism (not due to anatomical obstruction).

• Females:
• Ovulation induction due to anovulation or impaired follicle-ripening.
• Controlled hyperstimulation regimens to prepare the follicles for function.

Dosage and Administration

Presage 5000 IU Injection is administered via intramuscular (IM) injection only. The dosage and frequency of administration vary depending on the condition being treated. For example, in males with hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, the recommended dosage is 1000-2000 IU two to three times a week. In females, one injection of 5000-1000 IU may be given to complete treatment with a menotrophin preparation.
