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.
