Is HuCog 7000 The Safe Dosage For Early Pregnancy?

Hello I am from Bangalore(india). My wife is going through early pregnancy period with 7 weeks over. The doctor had earlier given her susten 200mg and after stopping this they have started to use injection of HuCog 7000(5000+2000) . I want an opinion of a gynac to know if this correct dosage? Actually she is some dizziness since yesterday, the day of getting injection. Also to note she had to fast for whole night, as today morning we had to go for thyroid, urine , vitamin d and calcium tests. Please provide your suggestions regarding the dosage and the reason for present dizziness. Thanks

Hi, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Susten is a progesterone which supports the pregnancy by making uterine environment more favourable for foetus. It has side effect of dizziness and nausea.
Hucog is hCG which is given to support the pregnancy by hormonal support.
Hucog can be given safely up to a dose of 10,000 units per day, and should be given only up to 12 weeks of pregnancy.
Dizziness is common in early pregnancy because of hypotension due to hormonal changes. It can be due to hCG, but it is a very rare side effect.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Wishing you good health.
Regards,
