Chorulon 1500 IU Injection 1's

Chorulon 1500 IU Injection belongs to the class of sex hormones used to treat female infertility, male hypogonadism and cryptorchidism. Female infertility is when a woman cannot get pregnant within a year of trying. Male hypogonadism is when the body does not produce enough hormones responsible for masculine growth in men. Cryptorchidism is a condition in which testes don’t descend into the scrotum (bag of skin present below the penis).

Chorulon 1500 IU Injection contains ‘chorionic gonadotrophin’ which stimulates the production of sex hormones such as testosterone in men and progesterone in women. It stimulates ovulation (egg production) in women and improves sperm production in men. Thereby, helps treat female infertility and male hypogonadism.

Chorulon 1500 IU Injection is available in the form of injection. It is usually administered by a healthcare professional. The common side-effects of Chorulon 1500 IU Injection are pain at the injection site, headache, irritability, restlessness, fatigue, oedema (swelling), early puberty and gynecomastia (swelling of breast tissue in men). Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and resolve gradually over time. However, consult your doctor if any of the side effects persist or worsen.

Female infertility: It is a condition in which a woman is not able to become pregnant within a year of trying. It could be due to age, hormonal problems, being overweight or underweight, an abnormal menstrual cycle, or other factors.
