Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG)
Luteinizing-hormone-mimic used in select fertility and HRT contexts.
What it does
What Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) is and why doctors prescribe it.
HCG is a glycoprotein hormone produced by the placenta during pregnancy. Clinically it's used to trigger ovulation in fertility protocols, to support endogenous testosterone production in select male HRT contexts, and in pediatric cryptorchidism. Compounded HCG is prepared on doctor prescription where state and federal law permit.
How it works
Mechanism in plain English.
HCG binds the LH receptor on testicular Leydig cells (in men) and on ovarian theca cells (in women), mimicking the action of luteinizing hormone. In male HRT contexts where exogenous testosterone otherwise suppresses endogenous LH, HCG can preserve testicular function and intratesticular testosterone levels.
How long it's been studied
Research history.
HCG has been clinically used since the 1930s. Modern endocrinology guidelines inform its use in fertility, hypogonadism, and pediatric contexts. Availability and dispensing are subject to state-by-state variation; RonanRx confirms coverage before dispensing.
Dosing
Clinical context for the prescribing doctor.
Doctor-prescribed and tightly state-regulated. Compounded HCG injectable preparations are dosed in international units (IU); typical male HRT-adjunct dosing falls in the 250–500 IU range two to three times weekly. Your doctor selects regimen based on goals and labs. Availability varies by state.
This page is informational, not a dispensing aid. Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) is dispensed only on a patient-specific prescription written by a licensed doctor for an identified patient. Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved and should not be evaluated using branded-drug trial data. Availability varies by state and prescribed medication.
