How Hucog 5000 IU Injection Works
Hucog works by imitating the Luteinizing Hormone (LH), which is responsible for key reproductive functions:
In females, it triggers the release of a mature egg (ovulation), supporting conception.
In males, it stimulates the testes to produce testosterone, which helps in sperm production and normal sexual development.
