WHAT GANIRELIX GEDEON RICHTER IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Ganirelix Gedeon Richter contains the active substance ganirelix and
belongs to a group of medicines
called “antigonadotropin-releasing hormones” which act against the
actions of the natural
gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH). GnRH regulates the release of
gonadotropins (luteinising
hormone (LH) and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH)). Gonadotropins
play an important role in
human fertility and reproduction. In women, FSH is needed for the
growth and development of
follicles in the ovaries. Follicles are small round sacs that contain
the egg cells. LH is needed to
release the mature egg cells from the follicles and ovaries (i.e.
ovulation). Ganirelix Gedeon Richter
inhibits the action of GnRH, resulting in suppression of the release
of especially LH.
_Ganirelix Gedeon Richter is used for _
In women undergoing assisted reproduction techniques, including
_in vitro _
fertilisation (IVF) and other
methods, occasionally ovulation may occur too early cau

QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE COMPOSITION
Each pre-filled syringe contains 0.25 mg of ganirelix in 0.5 mL

The active substance ganirelix (INN) is a synthetic decapeptide with
high antagonistic activity to the
naturally occurring gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH). The amino
acids at positions 1, 2, 3, 6, 8
and 10 of the natural GnRH decapeptide have been substituted resulting

CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1
THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
Ganirelix Gedeon Richter is indicated for the prevention of premature
luteinising hormone (LH)
surges in women undergoing controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH)
for assisted reproduction
techniques (ART).
In clinical studies ganirelix was used with recombinant human follicle
stimulating hormone (FSH) or
corifollitropin alfa, the sustained follicle stimulant.
4.2
POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Ganirelix Gedeon Richter should only be prescribed by a specialist
experienced in the treatment of
infertility.
Posology
Ganirelix is used to prevent premature LH surges in women undergoing
COH. Controlled ovarian
hyperstimulation with FSH or corifollitropin alfa may start at day 2
or 3 of menses. Ganirelix Gedeon
Richter (0.25 mg) should be injected subcutaneously once daily,
starting on day 5 or day 6 of FSH
administration or on day 5 or day 6 following the administration of
corifollitropin alfa. The starting
day of ganirelix is depending on the ovarian response, i.e. the number
and size of growing follicles
and/or the amount of circulating oestradiol. The start of ganirelix
may
