Dosage protocol
HCG 5000 IU
Typical dosing: 500 IU subcutaneous, 3× weekly (Mon/Wed/Fri) for testicular maintenance during TRT.
- Reconstitute: Add 2.0 mL bacteriostatic water → 2,500 IU/mL concentration.
- Typical dosing: 500 IU subcutaneous, 3× weekly (Mon/Wed/Fri) for testicular maintenance during TRT.
- Easy measuring: At 2,500 IU/mL, 1 unit = 25 IU on a U‑100 insulin syringe.
- Storage: Lyophilized: refrigerate at 2–8 °C (35.6–46.4 °F); after reconstitution, refrigerate at 2–8 °C (35.6–46.4 °F) for up to 60 days.
