What is Pregnyl Used For?

Pregnyl is a brand name for the drug human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG). It also goes by other brand names such as Novarel and Ovidrel. They are injectables and can be prescribed for both men and women. HCG is most often prescribed for women who are having trouble ovulating. However, it is not prescribed for women who have primary ovarian failure. Men are often prescribed HCG when their testosterone levels are too low. The medical term for this is hypogonadism. Pregnyl for males, especially young boys, is often indicated for those whose testicles have not yet descended.

Is Pregnyl the same as HCG?

Many become confused when the brand name, pregnyl is used in substitution for HCG. However, Pregnyl is a form of HCG, as is Ovidrel and Novarel. Your doctor selects the best brand for your particular condition. The most commonly prescribed is Pregnyl injectable, however.

How safe is Pregnyl?

Pregnyl has been prescribed for decades and is well trusted by fertility specialists. However, just as with any other medication, there can be side effects. For most, there are symptoms that eventually subside. Those include:

• Headache.
• Moodiness
• Pain at injection site.
• Breast tenderness.

You know you are experiencing a more serious side effect if you suffer severe stomach pain, rapid weight gain, swelling, trouble breathing, nausea that does not subside, vomiting, numbness on one side of your body, the inability to urinate, or chest pain. In the event you have any of these symptoms you should call your doctor immediately and seek medical attention.

How to Use Your Pregnyl Injection

Your pregnyl ivf medication comes with directions on the label and often come with their own instructions sheets. Unless your doctor has told you to do so, hcg chorionic gonadotropin is not for daily use. Depending on whom you purchase your pregnyl hcg from, you may have to mix it with a liquid before injecting. This is the same regardless if the med is human chorionic gonadotropin for males or females.

You administer your pregnyl 5000iu (or dosage recommended by your physician) into muscle, or under the skin. If you are unsure how to inject yourself, make sure to ask the nurse, or your medical professional before administering a dose to yourself.

Store your pregnyl chorionic gonadotropin at room temperature away from direct sunlight, heat or extreme moisture. If you have already mixed it, then store it in the refrigerator. Most pregnyl hcg has a 30-60 day expiration on it. If your pregnyl injection med changes colors or seems to have solids building up in it, call your pharmacist before use. If you are using the prefilled syringes, then do not keep them after use, even if there seems to be a small bit of hcg left in it.

Make sure to tell your doctor, before staring on your pregnyl injections, if you are taking any other prescription medications, over the counter meds, herbal supplements or any time of vitamin. Some of these can interact or lessen the efficacy of the pregnyl hcg.

Cost of Pregnyl

The pregnyl injection price is often affected by the strength of the dosage used as well as the duration. In general, the human chorionic gonadotropin price averages between $108-$135 per vial. If you purchase the pre-filled syringes, then expect to pay a little more. The most common treatment requires you to take pregnyl hcg shots two or three times a week, which can last for several months depending on your doctor’s diagnosis.
