This helps proper functioing of sex organs in males and increase schances of conceiving for a female.

Ovugro HP 75I.U acts as the male sex hormone, testosterone and therefore, improves sperm production in males. This can reduce infertility and helps to treat hypogonadism in males. Follow your doctor’s instructions carefully to get the most benefit.
  • In Female infertility: Ovugro HP 75I.U helps in normal development of an egg in a woman's ovary (female reproductive organ), and stimulates the release of a healthy, matured egg. This helps to treat infertility in women and increases the chance of a successful pregnancy. It is given as an injection by a doctor or nurse and should not be self-administered. You should use the medicine as prescribed for it to be effective.
