Puretrig is an injectable formulation of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin, commonly known as HCG. It is widely used in fertility treatments for both men and women. In women, Puretrig helps trigger ovulation, while in men, it supports the production of testosterone and sperm. It is also used in some cases of delayed puberty or hormone-related conditions. Puretrig mimics a natural hormone produced during pregnancy, which plays a key role in reproductive health.

Mechanism of Action:
Puretrig works by acting like luteinizing hormone, a hormone naturally present in the body:

• In women, it stimulates the final maturation of the ovarian follicle and triggers the release of an egg from the ovary, a process called ovulation.

• In men, it stimulates the testes to produce testosterone, which is essential for sperm production and normal sexual development.

• In some boys with delayed puberty, it helps in the development of secondary sexual characteristics.

  Uses:
  Puretrig is used for:

  • Women undergoing fertility treatment, to trigger ovulation as part of assisted reproduction techniques like IUI or IVF.

  • Men with hypogonadism, a condition where the body does not produce enough testosterone, often leading to infertility.

  • Young boys with undescended testes, where HCG can help stimulate the descent.

  • Certain hormone-related disorders, including delayed puberty in males.

    Adverse Effects:
    Puretrig is generally effective, but like any medication, it may cause side effects. Common ones include:

    • Mild pain, redness, or swelling at the injection site

    • Headache

    • Mood changes

    • Fatigue or irritability
