Can Ovitrelle be taken as a substitute for Pregnyl 5000?

The selection or replacement of these drugs is decided by the doctor conducting the treatment. Ovitrelle is an injectable drug that contains choriogonadotropin α – an analogue of human chorionic gonadotropin (obtained in the laboratory by recombinant DNA method). It is used to treat infertility in women who do not ovulate or it is too rare. The preparation is also used as one of the stages of treatment in the preparation of the patient for in vitro fertilization.

Like Ovitrelle, Pregnyl is used in women to induce ovulation and to prepare the patient for in vitro fertilisation. This drug can also be used in men in gonadal dysfunction resulting in a decrease in testosterone production, delayed puberty associated with pituitary insufficiency and in the disorder of testicular descent.

To @Jakub:

According to the law, only a drug with the same international name, dose and pharmaceutical form can be a substitute. Although the Ovitrelle ingredient has a similar structure and effect to the Pregnyl ingredient, they are not substitutes and the decision to use them interchangeably should be made by a doctor. A pharmacist cannot dispense Ovitrelle at a pharmacy if you have a prescription for Pregnyl.

Sorry, but the ladies in the comments don't know what they're writing about. Choriogonadotropin alpha is literally rHCG - they differ only in the way they are produced.

It's like comparing sugar from beetroot and sugar from fruit. The effect is the same!
