DESCRIPTION
Human chorionic gonadotropin
(HCG), a polypeptide
hormone produced by
the human placenta, is
composed of an alpha and
a beta sub-unit. The alpha
sub-unit is essentially identical
to the alpha sub-units
of the human pituitary
gonadotropins, luteinizing hormone
(LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), as well as to the alpha
sub-unit of human thyroid-stimulating
hormone (TSH). The beta
sub-units of these hormones differ in amino acid
sequence.
PREGNYL® (chorionic gonadotropin
for injection, USP) is a highly purified pyrogen-free preparation
obtained from the urine
of pregnant females.

assay procedure. It is available for intramuscular injection
in multiple dose
vials containing 10,000 USP Units of sterile
dried powder with 5 mg
monobasic sodium
phosphate and 4.4
mg dibasic sodium phosphate.

and/or phosphoric acid. Each package also contains a 10 mL vial
of solvent containing: water
for injection with
0.56% sodium chloride
and 0.9% BENZYL ALCOHOL, WHICH IS NOT FOR USE IN NEWBORNS. If required,
