Fresenius Kabi announced today it has launched Ganirelix Acetate Injection, a generic fertility drug, as part of the company’s expansion in women’s health. Ganirelix Acetate Injection is available immediately from Fresenius Kabi in 250 mcg/0.5 mL prefilled syringes.
Ganirelix Acetate Injection is indicated for the inhibition of premature surges in luteinizing hormone, or LH, a chemical in the body that triggers reproductive processes such as ovulation. Ganirelix is used to treat women who are undergoing controlled ovarian hyperstimulation, a fertility therapy.
“We’re pleased to expand our Women’s Health portfolio with the introduction of Ganirelix Acetate Injection, which was developed to provide hopeful parents with more choice when navigating in vitro fertilization and other fertility treatments,” said John Ducker, president and CEO of Fresenius Kabi USA.
Ganirelix Acetate Injection is the third product offering in Fresenius Kabi’s Women’s Health portfolio, which includes Chorionic Gonadotropin for Injection, USP (hCG) and Progesterone Injection, USP. Fresenius Kabi plans to continue to expand its Women’s Health portfolio, helping to meet the growing demand for reproductive health options in the US.
Over the last six years, the total number of Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) cycles has increased by 44 percent according to the latest national data released by the Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology (SART), possibly due to the resumption of post-COVID services and increased demand. Currently, more than two percent of all births in the U.S. are a result of successful ART cycles.
Fresenius Kabi Ganirelix Acetate Injection is not made with preservatives or latex. It is a generic medication that is the therapeutic equivalent to Organon’s Ganirelix Acetate injection, 250 mcg/0.5 mL.
