Mechanism of action
hCG is a hormone that mimics the action of luteinizing hormone (LH) in the body. By binding to the LH receptor, hCG maintains the corpus luteum's production of progesterone, which is essential for maintaining a pregnancy. This mechanism is crucial for preventing uterine lining breakdown and maintaining fetal development.
