Cetrotide is used to help regulate ovulation in women undergoing infertility treatment programs and assisted reproductive techniques such as in vitro fertilization (IVF). It works by preventing premature ovulation by inhibiting the effect of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), giving eggs a better chance of growth and maturation before retrieval. This increases the chances of successful fertilization and helps doctors control the appropriate timing of ovulation in line with the treatment plan.
Cetrotide helps reduce problems that may hinder the success of fertility programs, such as irregular ovulation or premature egg release. It is an effective medication usually given by subcutaneous injection. It requires close monitoring by a physician to adjust the dosage at the appropriate time. With adherence to treatment, it can lead to clear positive results and increase pregnancy rates in women experiencing difficulty conceiving due to ovulation disorders.
