WHAT CETROTIDE IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
WHAT CETROTIDE IS
Cetrotide contains a medicine called ‘cetrorelix’. This medicine
stops your body from releasing an egg
from your ovary (ovulation) during your menstrual cycle. Cetrotide
belongs to a group of medicines
called ‘anti-gonadotropin-releasing hormones’.
WHAT CETROTIDE IS USED FOR
Cetrotide is one of the medicines used during ‘assisted reproductive
techniques’ to help you get
pregnant. It stops eggs being released straight away. This is because
if the eggs are released too early
(premature ovulation) it may not be possible for your doctor to
collect them.
HOW CETROTIDE WORKS
Cetrotide blocks a natural hormone in your body called LHRH
(‘luteinising hormone releasing
hormone’).
•
LHRH controls another hormone, called LH (‘luteinising hormone’).
•
LH stimulates ovulation during your menstrual cycle.
This means that Cetrotide stops the chain of events that leads to an
egg being released from your
ovary. When your eggs are ready to be collected, another medicine will
be given to you that will
release

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.
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.
