What is ZYHCG?
ZYHCG is a synthetic form of the natural sex hormone known as human chorionic gonadotropin or HCG. The medication works by helping the body produce mature eggs in women undergoing fertility procedures, such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) and stimulating ovulation. It can be used in women to treat fertility problems if they haven’t gone through menopause. Some men may also use it to treat a low sperm count as well as delayed puberty in boys and for boys whose testicles have not dropped into the scrotum.
How is ZYHCG used?
ZYHCG should be injected into a muscle only as directed by a doctor. Prior to administering the injection, check the vial for discoloration or particles. If you are using the medication at home, learn all preparation and usage instructions for this product from a health care professional before the initial injection. Contact a doctor for the correct dosage, treatment cycle and length of treatment as it will depend on the patient’s condition and their response to the therapy. The needle should be discarded after one use in a safe container.
