Chorionic Gonadotrophin is a polypeptide hormone produced by the human placenta. It stimulates the production of gonadal steroid hormones by inducing interstitial cells (Leydig cells) of the testis to produce androgens and the corpus luteum of the ovary to produce progesterone.
Drug Interactions ::
Interactions of Human chorionic gonadotrophin with other medicines have not been investigated; interactions with commonly used medicinal products cannot be excluded. Following administration, Human chorionic gonadotrophin may interfere for up to 10 days with the immunological determination of serum/urinary human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), leading to a false positive pregnancy test. Incompatibilities: In the absence of compatibility studies, Pregnyl must not be mixed with other medicinal products.
