General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Ovipure hp contains human chorionic gonadotropin( purified) is prescribed to induce ovulation in infertility in women. It is sometimes used to maintain pregnancy in early weeks in case of history of early week miscarriages. Abdominal discomfort is a common side effect of this drug.
But recent studies suggest that this drug falls under category X or is contraindicated in pregnancy. Risk of the use of the drug in pregnant women clearly outweighs any possible benefit. The drug is contraindicated in women who are or may become pregnant.
So its recommended to withheld the drug.
