Growth hormone (GH)
treating short stature of unknown cause
Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG)
- cause ovulation and to treat infertility in women
- increase sperm count in men
Ovidrel (choriogonadotropin alfa)
recombinant hCG (sensitized not authentic) - another species
- induce ovulation
Pergonal or Repronex (menotropins)
extracted from the urine of postmenopausal women
- induce ovulation
Follistim (follitropin beta) FSH
normal follicular growth, maturation, and gonadal steroid production
- stimulates ovarian follicular growth in women who do not have primary ovarian failure

increase blood pressure in adults with vasodilatory shock
Pitocin (oxytocin)
nonapeptide: peptide chain of 9 amino acid residues
- initiation or improvement of uterine contractions
- control postpartum bleeding
thyroid hormones are
iodinated amino acids derived from L-tyrosine (active form)
hyperthyroid treatment (Graves Disease)
- Methimazole (tapazole)
- Propylthiouracil (PTU)
