Terms & Conditions of Program
A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.
The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.
Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.
Novarel is a prescription medication that contains human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), a hormone that stimulates the production of eggs in women and the production of testosterone in men. It is commonly used in assisted reproductive technology (ART) and to treat hypogonadism, a condition in which the body doesn't produce enough testosterone.

Novarel is typically administered by injection under the skin or into a muscle. It should only be administered by a licensed healthcare professional.
The dosage and frequency of injections will vary depending on the condition being treated and individual patient factors. It is important to follow your doctor's instructions for dosing and administration.
The active ingredient in Novarel is human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG).
Novarel should not be used if you are allergic to human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) or any other ingredient in the medication.
It should also be used with caution in individuals with a history of blood clots or other blood disorders, heart disease, kidney disease, or liver disease.
Novarel may cause ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), a condition in which the ovaries become swollen and painful. Symptoms may include abdominal pain, bloating, nausea, vomiting, and difficulty breathing. Contact your healthcare provider immediately if you experience any of these symptoms.
Novarel may also increase the risk of multiple births, such as twins or triplets, in women undergoing fertility treatments.
After receiving your injection in the office, call your healthcare provider if you experience any of the following adverse reactions:
