Common questions

About Ganirelix acetate

A gonadotropin-releasing-hormone antagonist that suppresses the body's own LH surge within hours, so follicles are not released before the egg retrieval. The antagonist protocol built around it is the most common modern IVF stimulation. Started partway through stimulation, once follicles reach a certain size, and continued as a daily injection until the trigger shot.

How is Ganirelix acetate given?

Injectable. Started partway through stimulation, once follicles reach a certain size, and continued as a daily injection until the trigger shot.

Why is there no listed price for Ganirelix acetate?

CMS publishes a national average acquisition cost only for drugs with generic pharmacy supply, and Ganirelix acetate has no published generic acquisition price. Rather than estimate one, this page leaves it absent. Across a whole IVF cycle, stimulation medication typically totals $3,000 to $7,000.
