Ovidac 5000 IU

Ovidac 5000 IU is a human chorionic gonadotropin preparation from the Indian pharmaceutical company Zydus Cadila. Its active substance is HCG, and the pack contains one vial of 5000 IU as a powder that is dissolved before injection.

How HCG Works in the Body

HCG is a natural hormone made by the placenta in early pregnancy, and pharmaceutical HCG of this kind is extracted from the urine of pregnant women and purified. In the body it acts like luteinising hormone (LH): it attaches to the LH receptor on the Leydig cells of the testes and prompts them to make testosterone, while also supporting the environment needed for sperm production.

As the name Ovidac suggests, its main medical role is in women, where it is used in fertility treatment to trigger the final maturation and release of an egg. In men, doctors prescribe HCG for low testosterone caused by a lack of pituitary hormones and for some cases of delayed puberty or undescended testes.

What Ovidac 5000 IU Is Used For in Sport

When testosterone or other anabolic steroids are taken, the brain detects high androgen levels and stops sending LH to the testes. Over weeks, this leads to testicular shrinkage and reduced fertility. Ovidac 5000 IU replaces the missing signal at the level of the testes and is used for:

• limiting testicular atrophy during longer or heavier cycles;
• preserving the testes' ability to produce testosterone, which can ease the transition after a cycle;
• protecting sperm production in men who are concerned about fertility.

The fertility point matters more than many men expect: sperm production can stay low for months after steroid use, and HCG is one of the medicines doctors use to support the testes in this situation.

Use and Safety

Ovidac 5000 IU is for adults only. People with prostate cancer or other hormone-sensitive tumours, pituitary tumours, uncontrolled thyroid or adrenal disease, or a previous allergic reaction to gonadotropins should not use it. Men with heart or kidney problems need particular care, because higher androgen levels can lead to fluid retention.

How much to use, how often and for how long must be decided individually with a qualified medical professional, preferably with regular blood tests. As a protein hormone, HCG is broken down in the gut and only works by injection, so reconstitution and storage should follow the leaflet in the pack, and sterile needles are essential.

Possible Side Effects

Because HCG raises testosterone and, through aromatisation, oestrogen, most of its side effects are hormonal. Fluid retention, a puffy look and breast sensitivity are the ones men notice most often, and gynaecomastia can develop if oestrogen is left unchecked. Acne, headache, irritability and tiredness are also reported, along with soreness or redness where the injection was given.

Allergic reactions to gonadotropins are uncommon but possible, and swelling of the face, a widespread rash or difficulty breathing need urgent medical help. Blood tests during use help to spot rising oestrogen early so it can be dealt with.
