What Cetrotide is<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Cetrotide contains a medicine called cetrorelix. This medicine prevents the body from secreting an egg from the ovaries (ovulation) during the menstrual cycle. Cetrotide belongs to a group of medicines called anti-gonadotropin-releasing hormones. What Cetrotide is used for<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Cetrotide is one of the drugs used in assisted reproduction techniques to help you get pregnant. This prevents the eggs from being released immediately. This is because if the eggs are released prematurely (premature ovulation), the doctor may not be able to remove them. How Cetrotide works<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Cetrotide blocks a natural hormone in the body called LHRH ( luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone ).<\/p>\n\n\n\n This means that Cetrotide stops the chain of events that leads to an egg being released from your ovaries. When your eggs are ready to be taken out, you will receive another medicine that loosens the eggs (ovulation induction).<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Do not use Cetrotide if any of the above apply to you. If you are not sure, talk to your doctor before using this medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Allergy is<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Tell your doctor before using Cetrotide if you have an ongoing allergic reaction or have previously had allergic reactions. Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Cetrotide is used with other medicines that stimulate the ovaries to develop more eggs that can be released. While or after receiving these medicines, you may develop OHSS. This happens when the follicles develop too much and become large cysts. Possible signs of this that you should pay attention to and what to do if this happens to see section 4 ” Possible side effects are<\/em> .” Use of Cetrotide for more than one cycle<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Experience with the use of Cetrotide for more than one cycle is limited. Your doctor will carefully review the benefits and risks for you if you need to take Cetrotide for more than one cycle. Liver disease<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Tell your doctor before using Cetrotide if you have liver disease. Cetrotide has not been studied in patients with liver disease. Kidney disease<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Tell your doctor before using Cetrotide if you have kidney disease. Cetrotide has not been studied in patients with kidney disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cetrotide is not intended for use by children or adolescents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tell your doctor if you are taking, have recently taken, or might take any other medicines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Do not use Cetrotide if you are pregnant, think you may be pregnant, or are breast-feeding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cetrotide is not expected to affect your ability to drive and use machines. Always use this medicine exactly as your doctor has told you. Consult a doctor if you are unsure. How to use this medicine<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This medicine is for injection only under the skin of the abdomen ( subcutaneously ). Choose different parts of the stomach every day to reduce skin irritation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n How much to use<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Inject the contents of 1 vial (0.25 mg Cetrotide) once a day. It is best to use the medicine at the same time each day with 24 hours between each dose. You can choose to inject every morning or<\/strong> every evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n OR<\/p>\n\n\n\n Adverse effects are not expected if you accidentally inject too much of this medicine. The effect of the drug will be longer. Usually, no special measures are required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have any further questions on the use of this product, ask your doctor or pharmacist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Like all medicines, this medicine can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them. Allergic reactions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you experience any of the side effects mentioned above, stop using Cetrotide and contact your doctor immediately. Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This may be due to the other medicines you use to stimulate the ovaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you get any of the side effects listed above, contact your doctor immediately. Other side effects are<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Common (may affect up to 1 in 10 women):<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Uncommon (may affect up to 1 in 100 women):<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Reporting of side effects<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you get any side effects, talk to your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse.
