Key Information
- Active Ingredient: Cetrorelix acetate, a gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist.
- Primary Use: The medicine is used in women undergoing assisted reproductive techniques (ART), such as in vitro fertilization (IVF), to prevent premature ovulation. By blocking the natural hormone LHRH, it allows the eggs time to mature properly before they are collected by a doctor.
- Administration: It is administered as a subcutaneous injection (under the skin) in the lower abdominal area, typically once daily. The first injection should be supervised by a healthcare professional due to the rare risk of allergic reactions.
- Common Side Effects: Reactions at the injection site (redness, itching, swelling), nausea, and headache.
- Important Precautions: It is contraindicated in women who are or may be pregnant, breast-feeding, or have severe kidney disease. A severe form of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) can occur with fertility treatments, which requires immediate medical attention.
