Orgalutran is a “gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonist” drug and acts against the action of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) produced by our hypothalamus.
Orgalutran is used to prevent premature release of LH, which can cause spontaneous ovulation. It is used in IVF cycles to prevent ovulation because without its effect the risk of ovulation is high and it would produce a significant reduction in the number of eggs retrieved in a follicular puncture.
