How Ovucet Products work
In females undergoing treatment for infertility, sometimes premature ovulation can lead to the release of eggs which are not ready for fertilisation. Cetrorelix blocks the action of a natural hormone and prevents premature release of the eggs from the ovary.

Q. What is Ovucet 0.25mg Injection and for what it is used for?
Ovucet 0.25mg Injection is an injectable preparation, which contains the active substance Ganirelix. It is used in women undergoing certain fertility treatments.

It is usually used in combination with other medicines.

It is given as an injection, only at the hospital or clinic by the medical healthcare professional. The patient may be monitored regularly for the follicular development. The treatment duration depends on the ovarian response of the patient.
Q. What may be the possible side effects associated with it?
The most common side effect is local site reaction (redness of skin with or without swelling). You may also feel a headache or nausea. However, these effects are temporary, if these persist consult with your doctor. In addition, conditions like ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), and multiple births or birth defect, may also be associated with the use of this medicine.
