Antagon (Ganarelix acetate)
What is Antagon™ (Ganarelix acetate)?

Antagon™ is a medication known as a gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonist and is used to prevent premature ovulation in women undergoing fertility procedures.

How do I use Antagon™?
Here are step-by-step instructions for taking Antagon™ (ganarelix) injections:
Antagon™ is injected subcutaneously-or into the fatty tissue under your skin. The primary sites for injection are your abdomen - 2 inches on either side of the navel, and your upper, outer-thigh where the skin is loose.
