Treatment of Female infertility
Choriolife 5000IU Injection contains a hormone that helps in normal development of an egg in a woman's ovary (female reproductive organ), and stimulates the release of the egg during a process called ovulation. It is used to cause ovulation. This helps to treat infertility in women. This increases the chance of a successful pregnancy. It is given by the doctor or nurse. You should use the medicine as prescribed for it to be effective. You may be asked to continue with this treatment for a period after becoming pregnant.

Treatment of Male hypogonadism
Hypogonadism is the improper functioning of reproductive organs, like testes in males and ovaries in females, which causes failure to produce sex hormones required for fertility. Choriolife 5000IU Injection helps the body increase production of testosterone and also improves sperm production in males. This can reduce infertility and helps to treat hypogonadism in males. Follow your doctor’s instructions carefully to get the most benefit.

Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them
