Xultophy Solution Injection

Xultophy Solution Injection, made by Novo Nordisk, is a fertility hormone injection. Its active ingredient is Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG), and it is used for triggering ovulation in fertility treatment, some male hormone problems, low testosterone due to pituitary problems and undescended testes in boys.

Uses of Xultophy Solution Injection

Xultophy Solution Injection is used in fertility treatment to trigger the final maturing and release of eggs, either for timed intercourse or before egg collection in IVF. In men it is used to boost testosterone and sperm production when the pituitary gland does not make enough hormones, and in boys it may be used for undescended testes or delayed puberty. It is not a weight-loss treatment.

How Xultophy Solution Injection works

Human chorionic gonadotropin acts like luteinising hormone (LH). In women it triggers the final maturation of eggs and ovulation, and supports the corpus luteum that produces progesterone. In men it stimulates the testes to make testosterone, which supports sperm production and male development.

Possible side effects

Some side effects that may occur with Xultophy Solution Injection include:

• Headache
• Pain, redness or bruising at the injection site
• Tiredness
• Mood changes or irritability
• Breast tenderness
• Mild bloating or stomach discomfort

Get urgent medical help if you have severe stomach pain or swelling, rapid weight gain, nausea and vomiting, or breathlessness, which can be signs of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, or if you notice leg swelling, chest pain or signs of an allergic reaction.

Precautions and warnings

• It should only be used under the supervision of a fertility specialist or other experienced doctor, who will monitor you with scans and blood tests.
• Fertility treatment with hCG increases the chance of twins or more babies, and of ectopic pregnancy.
• Tell your doctor if you have a hormone-dependent tumour, thyroid or adrenal problems, or a history of blood clots.
• It can give a false-positive pregnancy test for some days after the injection, so follow your clinic’s advice on when to test.
• It has no proven role in weight loss and should never be used for that purpose.
