Cetrotide®

Cetrotide Description

Cetrotide is an injection

The active ingredient in Cetrotide is called Cetrorelix. Cetrotide prevents eggs from being released too early, this process is called controlled
ovarian stimulation. Cetrotide blocks the gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) that causes eggs to be released from the ovaries giving the eggs
more time to develop before they are finally released. Cetrotide is a very effective fertility drug and is often used as part of an IVF drugs program.
