Lupi-HCG 5000IU Injection is an antineoplastic drug belonging to the class of luteinizing hormone analogs, containing the active ingredient chorionic gonadotrophin. Doctors mainly use this drug in fertility treatments to stimulate ovulation in women undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF). They also use it to increase testosterone production in males with hypogonadism (when the body does not produce enough testosterone). In addition, they use it to treat undescended testicles by helping the testes move from a higher to a lower position.

The common side effects that are likely to occur with this medicine are pain, redness, swelling at the site of injection, headache, tiredness, depression, and fluid retention. Inform your healthcare provider if these side effects concern you or persist for longer than usual. This medicine may increase the risk of developing ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome. If you get lower abdominal pain, gain any weight rapidly, and have difficulty breathing, consult with your doctor.
