Cetrorelix

Cetrorelix is a medication used to treat women undergoing fertility treatments such as in vitro fertilization (IVF). It is a gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist, which means it blocks the release of hormones that stimulate the ovaries. This helps to control the timing of egg release, or ovulation, which is essential for successful IVF treatments. By preventing premature ovulation, Cetrorelix allows healthcare professionals to better control the timing of the fertility procedure and increase the chances of successful pregnancy.
