Dr. Kishan Barnwal MBBS , General Physician

Materna contains human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) which is a hormone similar to luteinizing hormone (LH). It works differently in males and females.

In females Materna works by stimulating the production of progesterone through corpus luteum of the ovary.
