Ganirelix SubQ

Ganirelix SubQ Uses

This medication is used as part of a treatment program for certain fertility problems in women. It is generally used in combination with other hormones (FSH and hCG). Ganirelix works by blocking the release of a certain hormone (luteinizing hormone). It helps delay ovulation and increases the chance of producing fertile eggs.
