CORION INJECTION 2000IU contains ‘human chorionic gonadotropin’, which belongs to the class of ‘sex hormones’. It is used in treating female infertility in whom the cause of ovulation problems is a secondary ovarian failure (normal ovaries that don’t function properly). It can also treat male hypogonadism in which the testes are normal but don’t function properly. It can treat cryptorchidism in boys from age 4 to 9 if there is no structural deformity. However, the descending of testes into the scrotum is usually temporary when CORION INJECTION 2000IU is used.

CORION INJECTION 2000IU may cause multiple pregnancies (pregnant with more than one child at the same time). So, discuss with your doctor the possible risks of this medicine. It can increase the risk of blood clots.

In some cases, worsening of preexisting ovarian cysts or sudden ovary enlargement can be seen. So, regular monitoring is required. Early puberty may be seen in children. In such cases, discontinue therapy immediately and consult a doctor.
