Cetrotide contains an active substance called Cetrorelix that belongs to the category of GnRH antagonists, and is used to avert premature ovulation in women who are going through ovarian stimulation for ART. It actually blocks the impact of GnRH (Gonadotropin releasing hormone) which furthers controls the production of other hormone called LH (luteinizing hormone). Luteinizing hormone is a hormone that initiates the release of eggs during menstrual cycle. Cetrotide causes the release of egg to be controlled, so it is released at the best time for the pregnancy to occur. The normal dose of the medicine is 0.25 MG once daily injected under skin, and one should not stop taking Cetrotide 0.25 MG without discussing with the doctor.
Cetrotide 0.25 MG is injected under the skin of lower abdominal, or as directed by the health-care professional. If you are taking the medication on daily basis, use different sites every day to reduce the irritation. Never take double dose of the medicine to make up for missed one. Each package comes with a glass vial containing 0.25 MG cetrorelix acetate, a 20 gauge needle, a 27 gauge needle, 2 alcohol swabs, and a pre-filled glass syringe with one ml sterile water for injection.
Cetrotide 0.25 MG should be stored in a dry, cool place between 20C and 250C. Protect it from direct light, moisture and heat, and keep it out of children’s reach.
