Testosterone

hCG Injectable

How hCG supports healthy testosterone care

HCG (Chorionic) is human chorionic gonadotropin supplied as a powder for reconstitution in a 10,000 IU injectable kit. It is a separate medication from testosterone, not a substitute for it. Testosterone therapy is not one-size-fits-all. Your provider uses your symptoms, history, and lab results to decide whether treatment fits and which formulation makes sense.

  • Lab-informed decisions

    Your provider reviews existing labs or orders new ones to confirm whether low testosterone is present before recommending anything.

  • Several formulation options

    Injectable, topical, and oral options are available through our pharmacy network. Your provider explains why one may suit you better than another.

  • Ongoing follow-up

    Your provider checks in on how you are responding and adjusts your plan over time rather than writing a single prescription and moving on.

  • Provider-guided from start to finish

    A licensed provider reviews your health history, checks for contraindications, sets an appropriate starting plan, and monitors your progress over time.

  • How to use it

    Clear instructions for your specific formulation arrive with your first order.

Medication guide

What to know about hCG Injectable

General education to help you prepare for a conversation with a licensed provider. It is not a prescription or personal medical advice.

Generic name
Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG)
Brand names
Novarel, Pregnyl
Drug class
Gonadotropin (LH-like hormone)
Form
Powder mixed with diluent, then injected
Regulatory status
FDA-approved medication
FDA-approved use
Hypogonadotropic hypogonadism in males; prepubertal cryptorchidism; ovulation induction (with other fertility drugs).

Chorionic gonadotropin is FDA-approved for hypogonadotropic hypogonadism in men, certain cases of undescended testicles in boys, and ovulation induction. Using it alongside testosterone therapy to protect fertility is off-label. hCG labels state it has not been shown to be effective for weight loss.

Overview

hCG stimulates the testicles to make testosterone and support sperm production. It may be used on its own for certain types of low testosterone, or with testosterone therapy to help maintain fertility and testicle size.

Who may be evaluated for it

  • Men with hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (low testosterone caused by low pituitary signals).
  • Men on testosterone therapy who want to preserve sperm production, after a fertility discussion.

Who may not be a good fit

  • Anyone with prostate cancer, an androgen-dependent tumor, or early puberty.
  • Anyone seeking hCG for weight loss (not effective).
  • People with a prior allergic reaction to hCG.

How it works

hCG acts like luteinizing hormone (LH), the brain’s signal to the testicles. It binds to LH receptors on testicular cells, which then make testosterone. The higher testosterone level inside the testicle supports sperm production.

Potential benefits and realistic timelines

What the evidence supports

  • hCG raises testosterone and can restore sperm production in men with hypogonadotropic hypogonadism.

Early or limited research

  • Smaller studies suggest low-dose hCG alongside testosterone helps maintain sperm production in many men.

Not established

  • Weight loss.
  • A guarantee that fertility will be preserved.
  1. Days to weeksTestosterone levels rise within days of starting.
  2. 3 months or moreSperm production takes about 3 months to develop, so semen changes are assessed over months.

Results vary from person to person. Your provider decides whether and how long to continue.

How it’s used

  • Mix the powder with the supplied diluent exactly as the pharmacy instructs. Do not shake hard.
  • Inject under the skin or into a muscle on the schedule your provider sets.
  • Use a new sterile needle each time and rotate sites.

If you miss a dose

Ask your provider; do not double the next dose.

Storage and handling

Before mixing, store at room temperature. After mixing, refrigerate and use within the time on your label (often about 30 to 60 days). Do not freeze.

Your prescription label and provider instructions always take priority over this general information. Do not change your dose or stop without talking to your provider.

  • Tiredness
  • Injection-site pain

Used in fertility treatment for women under specialist care. In men it is often used specifically to support fertility.

Interactions and combinations

Frequently Asked Questions

Why take hCG with testosterone?

Testosterone shuts down the brain’s signal to the testicles. hCG replaces that signal, which may help keep sperm production and testicle size. This use is off-label.

Does hCG help with weight loss?

No. FDA-approved labeling states hCG has not been shown to help with weight loss.

How do I mix it?

Follow the pharmacy instructions exactly. Add the diluent slowly, swirl gently and refrigerate after mixing.

Do I need a prescription?

Yes. After your free consultation, a licensed provider reviews your intake and relevant lab work to decide whether testosterone therapy is appropriate for you.

Will I need lab work?

Your provider will review existing labs or order new ones to confirm whether low testosterone is present before recommending treatment.

What if a provider decides this isn’t right for me?

Your consultation is free. If a provider decides testosterone therapy isn’t appropriate for you, they will explain why and may suggest other options.

Can I use my HSA or FSA?

Yes. Medura accepts HSA and FSA cards at checkout, and we can provide documentation for reimbursement if you need it.

How is it shipped?

Your treatment arrives in plain, unbranded packaging with no pharmacy name on the outside. Temperature-sensitive items ship with cold-chain protection.

What happens after I request treatment through Medura?

You complete an online assessment about your health history, current medications and goals. A licensed provider reviews it and decides whether a prescription is appropriate. Completing the assessment does not guarantee a prescription. If one is written, a licensed pharmacy prepares and ships it, and your provider can adjust or stop treatment as needed. If lab work is needed, your provider will tell you; it may be ordered and billed separately.
