Ganirelix acetate(Formerly known as Antagon)
What is Ganirelix acetate?

Ganirelix 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 Ganirelix?

Here are step-by-step instructions for taking ganirelix injections:
Ganirelix 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.
