What is Ovidrel used for?

This medication provides the hormone (hCG), which stimulates the release of a mature egg (ovulation) and helps you become pregnant. This medication is not recommended for women whose ovaries no longer make eggs properly (primary ovarian failure). This medication has not been shown to be effective for weight loss and should not be used for this purpose due to risk of serious side effects.
