Introduction to Ovurelix 0.25mg Injection
Ovurelix 0.25mg injection is a gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonist containing the active ingredient Cetrorelix. It is commonly used in the treatment of female infertility, specifically to aid in the process of in vitro fertilization (IVF). By synchronizing the development of multiple follicles, Ovurelix ensures that they can be effectively retrieved during the IVF procedure.
This medication is contraindicated in individuals with known hypersensitivity or allergies to Cetrorelix or any of its components. If you have a history of kidney or liver problems, inform your physician, as special monitoring or dose adjustments may be necessary. Ovurelix 0.25mg injection is often combined with other medications to stimulate the ovaries as part of fertility treatment. However, it may increase the risk of Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS), a condition where the ovaries become enlarged and cysts may develop. If you experience severe pelvic pain, bloating, nausea, vomiting, or sudden weight gain, contact your physician immediately, as these symptoms could indicate OHSS.
