HCG Injection 10,000 IU contains Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin, a glycoprotein hormone used in the management of infertility and certain hormonal disorders. It acts similarly to luteinizing hormone (LH), playing a key role in triggering ovulation in females and stimulating testosterone production in males. This high-strength formulation is used in specific fertility treatment protocols under strict medical supervision.
