Ganirelix acetate (or diacetate) is an injectable competitive gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonist (GnRH antagonist). It works by blocking the action of GnRH upon the pituitary, thus rapidly suppressing the production and action of LH and FSH.

Labeling Target | Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GNRH) Receptor |
Application | Ganirelix is primarily used in assisted reproduction to control ovulation. |
Activity | Antagonist |
Biological Activity | Ganirelix is a gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist. It blocks a natural hormone called GnRH that typically releases other hormones to prepare your body for ovulation (release of an egg from your ovary). By blocking GnRH, ganirelix temporarily delays ovulation. It's used to prevent eggs from being released too early and can help your provider be more successful during your egg retrieval procedure. |
