What is the most important information I should know about ganirelix?
Ganirelix should be prescribed by a doctor experienced in infertility treatment. Before starting treatment with ganirelix, it should be determined that you are not already pregnant. Ganirelix may be harmful to an unborn baby.
Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is an uncommon complication of treatment with ganirelix and other fertility medications. Symptoms of OHSS include severe pelvic pain, swelling of the hands or legs, abdominal pain and swelling, shortness of breath, weight gain, low urine output, diarrhea, severe nausea, and vomiting. OHSS can be fatal. Notify your doctor immediately or seek emergency medical attention if you develop any of these symptoms.
