Cetrorelix Acetate for Injection is used to prevent premature LH surges in women undergoing controlled ovarian stimulation. It blocks the effects of a natural hormone called gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), which controls the secretion of another hormone called luteinizing hormone (LH), which induces ovulation during the menstrual cycle. Cetrorelix further expands the company's fertility product line, underscoring its commitment to developing and manufacturing complex injectables to meet patients' unmet needs.
