CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1
THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
Prevention of premature ovulation in patients undergoing a controlled
ovarian stimulation, followed by oocyte
pick-up and assisted reproductive techniques.
In clinical trials Cetrotide was used with human menopausal
gonadotropin (HMG), however, limited
experience with recombinant follicule-stimulating hormone (FSH)
suggested similar efficacy.

POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Cetrotide
®
should only be prescribed by a specialist experienced in this field.
Posology
The first administration of Cetrotide should be performed under the
supervision of a physician and under
conditions where treatment of possible allergic/pseudo-allergic
reactions (including life-threatening
anaphylaxis) is immediately available. The following injections may be
self-administered as long as the
patient is made aware of the signs and symptoms that may indicate
hypersensitivity, the consequences of such
a reaction and the need for immediate medical intervention.
2
The contents of 1 vial (0.25 mg cetrorelix) are to be administered
once daily, at 24 h intervals, either in the
morning or in the evening. Following the first administration, it is
advised that the patient be kept under
medical supervision for 30 minutes to ensure there is no
allergic/pseudo-allergic reaction to the injection.
