Ganirelix Acetate and Cetrotide also suppress FSH and LH production; however, the suppression is more complete than with Lupron. Because the suppression is so complete these drugs can be used during in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment for shorter periods of time.
These fertility drugs are gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists meaning they block the action of GnRH at the pituitary, which virtually stops FSH and LH production.
The most common side effects are headache or mild vaginal bleeding.
