Description

Novarel (chorionic gonadotropin for injection) is a polypeptide hormone used to treat Prepubertal cryptorchidism not due to anatomic obstruction. In general, HCG is thought to induce testicular descent in situations when descent would have occurred at puberty. HCG thus may help to predict whether or not orchiopexy will be needed in the future. Although, in some cases, descent following HCG administration is permanent, in most cases the response is temporary. Therapy is usually instituted between the ages of 4 and 9. Novareli is also used to treats elected cases of hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (hypogonadism secondary to a pituitary deficiency) in males, and for induction of ovulation and pregnancy in the anovulatory, infertile woman in whom the cause of anovulation is secondary and not due to primary ovarian failure, and who has been appropriately pretreated with human menotropins.

How to Give Subcutaneous Injection

There are three places that a subcutaneous injection may be given: the abdomen, the thigh, or the back of your arm as shown here

  1. Select your injection site (the abdomen is preferred)
  2. Cleanse the area with alcohol and let dry. Do not blow on it.
  3. Take a pinch of the fatty tissue you have cleansed. The injection is given here.
  4. Hold the syringe like a pencil or a dart approximately 1 inch away from the skin.
  5. Insert the needle quickly (not hard), with one fluid motion, into the skin.
  6. Let go of the pinch of skin. Depress the plunger and inject all of the medication. Pull the needle straight out.
  7. Apply pressure to the injection site with a sterile gauze pad.
  8. Never reuse needles or syringes.
  9. Dispose of the syringe in a biohazard container such as a Sharps container – or in a sealable, unbreakable plastic container such as a laundry detergent bottle.

Please be aware that some of these instructions may vary based on your particular situation or preference.
