Human Chorionic Gonadotropin, HCG

Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a hormone for the maternal recognition of pregnancy produced by trophoblast cells that are surrounding a growing embryo (syncytiotrophoblast initially), which eventually forms the placenta after implantation.[1][2] The presence of hCG is detected in some pregnancy tests (HCG pregnancy strip tests). Some cancerous tumors produce this hormone; therefore, elevated levels measured when the patient is not pregnant may lead to a ...

can deanxit be taken if still breastfeeding? ## Source: Lundbeck labs Deanxit drug information (2014) Breast-feeding As flupentixol is found in breast milk in low concentrations it is not likely to affect the infant when therapeutic doses are used. The dose ingested by the infant is less than 0.5% of the weight related maternal dose (in mg/kg). It is not known whether melitracen is excreted in breast milk. However, another tricyclic antidepressant, amitriptyline, is found in breast milk in low concentrations and it is not likely to affect the infant when therapeutic doses are used. The dose ingested by the infant is about 2% of the weight related maternal daily dose (in mg/kg). As melitracen has the same lipophilic properties as amitriptyline, it is assumed that it occurs in breast milk...

Levothyroxine is a naturally occurring hormone, normally present in both maternal and fetal circulation. Levothyroxine, in replacement doses, is not expected to adversely affect the fetus. On the contrary, hypothyroidism may lead to poor pregnancy outcome. Thyroid replacement therapy should be maintained during pregnancy.

i have diabetes type 2 are these safe to take ?? ## Hi cathy, Ephedrine is the principal active ingredient in the herb ephedra or effergin.

I used Canex V during my fertile period for thrush infection due to antibiotics. Is it possible to still be able to get pregnant while you are using it. ## From what I could gather, Canex V contains the active ingredient Clotrimazole, which is an anti-fungal medication. So yes, it is normally used to treat things such as yeast/thrush infections. Regarding it's use during pregnancy, Clotrimazole topical has been assigned to pregnancy category B by the FDA. In which case animals who were given high doses intravaginally have not revealed evidence of teratogenicity. However, high "oral" doses resulted in embryotoxicity and maternal toxicity. In clinical trials involving women in their second and third trimester, Clotrimazole treatment of vaginal candidiasis was not associated wi...
