[QUOTE="Nelson Vergel, post: 274683, member: 3"] Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) is used in different dosages depending on whether it's used alone or in combination with testosterone therapy, primarily due to its mechanism of action and the desired therapeutic outcomes. [LIST=1] [*][B]hCG Monotherapy[/B]: When hCG is used alone, higher doses are often required. This is because hCG mimics the action of Luteinizing Hormone (LH), which is essential for stimulating the testes to produce testosterone naturally. In cases where hCG is the sole agent used to stimulate endogenous testosterone production, higher doses are needed to effectively initiate and maintain this physiological process. [*][B]hCG in Combination with Testosterone Therapy[/B]: When hCG is used in combination with exogenous testosterone therapy, the required dose of hCG is generally lower. This is because the primary role of hCG in this context is not to raise testosterone levels (as the exogenous testosterone is already accomplishing this) but rather to maintain testicular function and size, and potentially preserve fertility. Lower doses of hCG are sufficient for this supportive role. [*][B]Individual Variability[/B]: It's important to note that the appropriate dosage of hCG, whether used alone or in combination, can vary greatly among individuals based on their specific medical condition, baseline hormone levels, and how they respond to the therapy. [/LIST] In conclusion, the dosage of hCG is tailored based on its intended use and the specific needs of the patient. Higher doses in monotherapy are aimed at achieving adequate testosterone levels, while lower doses in combination therapy focus on maintaining testicular health alongside exogenous testosterone.
