Indications
Orgalutran Injection (ganirelix acetate) is indicated for women undergoing certain fertility treatments, specifically controlled ovarian stimulation as part of Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) such as in vitro fertilization (IVF).
The medication is typically used in combination with other hormones, such as follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). It works by blocking the release of luteinizing hormone (LH), which helps prevent premature ovulation. By delaying ovulation, Orgalutran allows the eggs in the ovaries to grow properly.

FAQ
How does Orgalutran work?
The active substance in Orgalutran, ganirelix, blocks the receptors for a natural hormone called gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH). GnRH controls the secretion of another hormone called luteinizing hormone (LH), which causes ovulation (the release of eggs during the menstrual cycle).
How has Orgalutran been studied?
The ability of Orgalutran to prevent premature ovulation has been studied in three main studies involving 1,335 women.
Orgalutran was compared with buserelin, leuprorelin, and triptorelin (GnRH agonists: another group of medicines used to prevent premature ovulation, which works by stimulating the receptor for GnRH to such an extent that the body stops making LH). The main measures of effectiveness were the number of eggs that could be harvested and the number of women who became pregnant.
What benefit has Orgalutran shown during the studies?
After treatment with Orgalutran, the average number of eggs that could be harvested was between 7.9 and 11.6 per woman.
Between 20% and 31% of the women became pregnant. Overall, the values for the GnRH agonists were slightly higher.
What is the risk associated with Orgalutran?
In studies, the most common side effect of Orgalutran (seen in more than 1 patient in 10) was a skin reaction at the injection site, mainly redness with or without swelling. For the full list of all side effects reported with Orgalutran, see the package leaflet.
