Choriomon® is used in Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) treatments, such as in vitro fertilisation (IVF), to trigger ovulation and support luteal phase function. It mimics the natural luteinising hormone (LH) surge, ensuring the release of mature eggs for retrieval or timed intercourse.

In men, it may be prescribed to treat hypogonadotropic hypogonadism or to stimulate sperm production.

The typical dosage for ovulation induction is 5000 IU to 10,000 IU administered as a single intramuscular or subcutaneous injection. For luteal phase support, smaller doses may be prescribed.

In men, the dosage and frequency depend on the condition being treated.

Your fertility specialist will provide specific instructions tailored to your treatment plan.

If you forget to take Choriomon®, contact your fertility clinic or doctor immediately for advice.

Do not administer a double dose to make up for the missed one.

Timing is critical in fertility treatments, so follow your doctor’s instructions closely.

In case of an overdose, symptoms may include abdominal discomfort, bloating, or signs of ovarian hyperstimulation.

Contact the Poisons Information Centre (Australia: 13 11 26) or your doctor for guidance.

Store Choriomon® below 25°C in its original packaging to protect it from light and moisture. Do not freeze the medication.

Once reconstituted, the solution should be used immediately or as directed by your doctor.

Keep the medication out of reach of children.

Common side effects include mild redness, swelling, or itching at the injection site, which usually resolves quickly. Other possible side effects include headaches, nausea, fatigue, or abdominal discomfort.

Rare but serious side effects include symptoms of Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS), such as severe pelvic pain, nausea, vomiting, or sudden weight gain.

Contact your doctor immediately if you experience severe symptoms.

Choriomon® may interact with other hormonal medications used during fertility treatments.

Inform your doctor about all medications, supplements, or herbal products you are taking to avoid potential interactions.

Your fertility specialist will guide you on how to safely incorporate Choriomon® into your treatment plan.

How does Choriomon® work in fertility treatments? Choriomon® contains hCG, which mimics the natural LH surge, triggering ovulation and supporting the luteal phase. This ensures optimal timing for egg retrieval or ovulation.

Can I administer Choriomon® myself? Yes, if your doctor or nurse has trained you in the proper injection technique. Choriomon® is given as an intramuscular or subcutaneous injection. Follow the instructions provided by your healthcare team carefully.

What should I do if I experience side effects? Mild side effects, such as redness or swelling at the injection site, are common and usually temporary. If you experience severe symptoms, such as signs of OHSS, contact your doctor immediately. Your healthcare team is here to support you.

Can Choriomon® be used during pregnancy? No, Choriomon® must not be used during pregnancy. It is specifically designed for use during ovarian stimulation cycles before conception. If you suspect you may be pregnant, inform your doctor immediately.

How should I store Choriomon®? Store Choriomon® below 25°C in its original packaging, away from light and moisture. Once reconstituted, use the solution immediately or as directed by your doctor.
