Cetrorelix (Systemic)
Brand Names : Cetrotide
CategoryDescriptionCetrorelix (set-RO-rel-lix)is a man-made hormone that blocks the effects
of Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone (GnRH). GnRH controls another hormone that
is called luteinizing hormone (LH), which is the hormone that starts ovulation
during the menstrual cycle. When undergoing hormone treatment sometimes premature
ovulation can occur, leading to eggs that are not ready for fertilization
to be released. Cetrorelix does not allow the premature release of these eggs
to occur.
