Pubergen 5000IU Injection 1 ml belongs to the class of sex hormones used in the treatment of female infertility, male hypogonadism and cryptorchidism. Female infertility is when a woman is unable to get pregnant within a year of trying.

Cryptorchidism is a condition in which testes don’t descend into the scrotum (bag of skin present below the penis).

It stimulates the production of sex hormones such as testosterone in men and progesterone in women. It can stimulate ovulation (egg production) in women and improve sperm production in men.
