[QUOTE="EmpowerPharmacy, post: 16078, member: 109"] Many people have asked this question in the past. Recombinant HCG (rHCG) is derived through recombinant DNA technology, whereas urinary HCG (uHCG) is derived from the purified urine of pregnant women. rHCG, marketed under the name Ovidrel, is much more expensive than uHCG, which is marketed under the names Pregnyl, Follutein, Profasi and Novarel. Compounding pharmacies can also make uHCG preparations. Many studies have been performed to determine if one product has better efficacy and/or safety than the other. Every study done in the past 10 years has come to the same conclusion: [B]There is no difference in clinical outcomes between rHCG and uHCG. [/B]Given this conclusion and the fact that uHCG is less expensive than rHCG most providers prescribe uHCG.
