It is primarily used inassisted reproductionto controlovulation. The drug works by blocking the action ofgonadotropin-releasing hormone(GnRH) upon the pituitary, thus rapidly suppressing the production and action ofLHandFSH. Ganirelix is used in fertility treatment to prevent premature ovulation that could result in the harvesting of eggs that are too immature to be used in procedures such asin vitrofertilization. GnRH agonistsare also sometimes used in reproductive therapy, as well as to treat disorders involving sex-steroid hormones, such asendometriosis.One advantage of using GnRH antagonists is that repeated administration of GnRH agonists results in decreased levels of gonadotropins and sex steroids due to desensitization of the pituitary. This is avoided when using GnRH antagonists such as ganirelix.The success of ganirelix in reproductive therapy has been shown to be comparable to that when using GnRH agonists.
