Hello, I am facing the same confusion as charmer, and, I think using the same doctor in Brussels. When the superb senior doctor had left, it fell to the junior doctor to hand out the information. She gave me a fact sheet intended for use with Pregnyl, but told me I would instead use Brevactid or Choriomon, according to what was available. I think she assumed all three involved an identical procedure. The daily strength for Brevactid was to be 0.13 ml, and for Choriomon 0.18 ml. In the event, the Belgian chemist provided the Brevactid 1500. In the package there is a bottle with a white pill, and there is a glass vial which looks to contain 1ml of saline. The instructions from the clinic (but for Pregnyl!) say only that one vial should provide enough for 7 daily syringes, and that anything left over should be thrown away at the end of the week since it will by then have lost potency. A second vial is then to be prepared for the following 7 days, etc.

Looking at the 1 ml vial and the bottle containing the white pill, the clear inference (which charmer drew too) was to mix the two together. 7 x 0.13 ml is less than 1ml, so the inference is not without logic.

However, it seems to me that the procedure for Brevactid must be different than it is for Pregnyl. Also that the saline should not be used. Therefore, that I need to obtain a mixing kit somewhere. The question I have, therefore, is how I achieve a dose of 0.13 ml when the starting point is just the white tablet at the bottom of the small bottle. A further question is whether the instruction to throw away surplus after a week maybe need not apply to Brevactid, even if perhaps it would apply to Pregnyl. I wonder, too, if the loss of potency after 7 days might not in fact result from mixing with saline rather than Bacteriostatic. It seems a pity to plan to throw away product.

What I think is clear is that, given that the Brevactid box contains three tablets (each in a small bottle), and the box is intended to be enough for a whole course, that each pill should be divided just under eight ways so that the three pills last the length of the 23 day injection protocol. Does this make sense, and is it a sensible kind of dose?

Any help would be appreciated. And, if by chance charmer reads this, I would be interested to make contact. Thank you. UKbased.


Thanks for your reply. I meant Bacteriostatic not Saline.

This Dr. is one of the leading endos on the planet from Belgium...guess I caught him on a bad day!

Thanks again x
