I talked to a pharmacist and he said the best way to use HCG is with salin instead of BacWater. Is this ok as i cant find any BacWater and i need to do my HCG injection today!

Bump. I have the same question.
the solvent that comes with it, is normal saline
PREGNYL contains 1 500 and 5 000 I.U. Chorionic Gonadotrophin per ampoule
Each 1 mL ampoule of Solvent for Pregnyl contains 0,9% m/v sodium chloride in water for injection
but further investigation (google) reveals that bac h20 should be used.
Correct, the solvent is sodium chloride, however, do not use normal saline. Thats used for irrigating wounds but is not sterile enough for injection. There is a difference on the way they are sterelised. Normal saline is not recomended. You can purchase sodium chloride in plastic amps from your pharmacy. Make sure it is sodium chloride 0.9% for injection B D! If your not sure, ask the pharmacist for advice.Quote:
