Currently, the pharmaceutical industry produces a huge number of drugs containing HCG. After intramuscular administration, the drug is well absorbed. The half-life is several hours, but the effect of one injection persists for 5-6 days.
Injectable chorionic gonadotropin is a dry substance enclosed in an ampoule (vial). An ampoule with liquid for dissolving the drug should be attached to the HCG vial. It is usually a solution of sodium chloride. The powder is well soluble in solution. The resulting mixture must be injected intramuscularly or subcutaneously. If you have not used all the liquid, then the leftovers should be placed in the refrigerator. Dry HCG should be stored in a dark place at a temperature not higher than + 25 degrees Celsius.
Application protocols by Michael Scally MD and Eric Potratz:- If the duration of the course does not exceed 5-6 weeks, 1 drug is used in small doses, then there is no need for gonadotropin. If the duration of the course is more than 6 weeks (8-12 weeks), the dosage is overestimated, 2 or more drugs are used: at least for the last 3-5 weeks of the course, take 2 injections of gonadotropin per week of 250-500 IU to prevent testicular atrophy. The administration stops after almost complete elimination of the anabolic drug, then post-course therapy begins. On multi-month courses, gonadotropin is administered continuously, 3-5 weeks after 1-2 weeks (it is necessary to take a break for at least 1-2 weeks in order to prevent desensitization). According to the latest scientific data, this scheme is considered optimal, since it allows you to preserve the function of the testicles and promotes maximum recovery after the course.
- If HCG has not been used for a long or "heavy" course, then it should be included in the post-course therapy, but then it should be used only at the beginning of PCT. The blust protocol is most often used according to the book by William Llewellyns (Program for Wellness Restoration), supported by clinical trials, according to which HCG is recommended to be used as part of post-course therapy for 2000 IU, every other day for 20 days to restart the hypothalamus-pituitary-testicular arc; such a scheme is highly discouraged in the absence of complications.
The only reliable indicator of the drug's performance is the corresponding indicator of b-hCG, for which an appropriate blood test is performed.
- It is not recommended for weight loss and anabolic effect.
