What is Cetrorelix?

Cetrorelix is used in women for some fertility treatments (controlled ovarian stimulation). This medicine works by preventing eggs from being released too early (premature ovulation) by blocking the hormones (gonadotropin-releasing hormone-GnRH) that allows eggs to be released from the ovaries. This leads the growth time of eggs to increase properly. This drug is usually combined with another hormone (human chorionic gonadotropin-hCG) to help you get pregnant.

Extreme pain, Swelling in the lower abdominal (pelvic) region, Nausea, Vomiting, Sudden/fast weight gain, Decreased urination, Rashes, Itching, Difficulty in breathing, Dizziness, Headache, Redness.

Cetrorelix avoids premature LH surge that occurred elsewhere in the CC-FSH-cetrorelix protocol.basically it is used for IVF treatment.

Cetrotide 0.25 mg should be administered at 24 hours intervals of time. But if you forget to take Cetrotide 0.25 mg at the same time it will lead to no big problem to administer this dose at a different time of the same day.

Follow your doctor's orders for any limits on food, drinks, or operation.

Many other drugs and medicine can interact with cetrorelix, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins and some herbal products. Tell each of your health care professionals about all the medications you are taking now and any medicines you start or stop using.

In women, Cetrotide delays LH-surgery and, subsequently, ovulation in a dose-dependent manner. FSH levels shall not be affected at doses used during managed ovarian stimulation. After a single 3 mg dose of Cetrotide®, a period of action of at least 4 days has been identified.

Researchers have experimented with PCOS on a drug named cetrorelix in mice. The drug blocks gonadotropic hormones, which restrict ovulation, and thus also lowers AMH levels. They found that cetrorelix mice stopped having symptoms of PCOS.
But Cetrorelix may not be the cure that women suffering from PCOS are looking for. For one thing, it's not the solution for PCOS sufferers who are trying to conceive because it effectively shuts down a woman's cycle. Some treatments—including medications such as letrozole or follicle-stimulating hormones—work reasonably well with 60 percent of women being pregnant after using them.
Although cetrorelix may alleviate other symptoms of PCOS, it may be too powerful for a medication to be a reasonable remedy. Cetrorelix needs to be injected regularly.
It makes sense that if you shut down the menstrual centers with cetrorelix, the symptoms of PCOS are decreased, but there are other ways to suppress the menstrual cycle that we have used for many years to treat PCOS.
Weight loss is another method that is widely prescribed. If you have PCOS, speak to your doctor about the best care options for you.
