HMG (0.15 mg / 75 IU Vial)
Human Menopausal Gonadotropin (HMG) is a purified gonadotropin preparation containing equal amounts of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) activity. In males, HMG is used alongside hCG to stimulate spermatogenesis in cases of hypogonadotropic hypogonadism or infertility. This educational protocol presents a thrice-weekly subcutaneous approach for male fertility support.
Detailed protocol below.
| Week/Phase | Dose per Injection | Volume per Injection |
|---|---|---|
| Weeks 1–12 | 75 IU (0.15 mg) | 3.0 mL (300 units) |
| Weeks 13–16 (optional extension) | 75 IU (0.15 mg) | 3.0 mL (300 units) |
- •Peptide Vials (HMG, 75 IU / 0.15 mg each):
- •Syringes (3 mL):
- •Bacteriostatic Water (30 mL bottles): Use 3.0 mL per vial for reconstitution.
- •Alcohol Swabs: One for the vial stopper + one for each injection site.

In hypogonadal men, hMG added at 75–150 IU three times weekly if hCG alone insufficient for spermatogenesis
