Ganirelix Costs

The cost of ganirelix is dependent on where you purchase the medication and how long your doctor determines you should be on the drug. In general, the average cost of ganirelix is as much as $1,167.42. However, fertility med pricing, especially ganirelix pricing, is often quite reduced if you purchase it online. The key to getting good quality ganirelix for cheap is to purchase from reputable online fertility drug pharmacies. You should avoid the temptation to purchase generic IVF drugs or generic fertility meds as they are often less effective and may come from companies outside of the U.S. that do not undergo the high level of quality control.

Ganirelix Indications, Uses and Side Effects

Ganirelix is a type of protein that slows down the production of the hormones in your body (primarily estrogen) which stimulates release of the egg. This allows an egg to reach full maturity before ovulation occurs. If you are experiencing irregular ovulation, or suffer from uterine fibroids or endometriosis, Ganirelix may be prescribed to help you become pregnant.

Ganirelix is an injectable fertility medication and is often prescribed for use in IVF treatments. Most of the known side effects are temporary and can include mild stomach pain, tiredness, headaches and slight nausea. Of course, you should always seek medication attention immediately if you suspect you are having an allergic reaction.

Ganirelix FAQ

What is Ganirelix?

Ganirelix is an artificially created protein used in many IVF treatments. Ganirelix cost is often lower than most other IVF medications, despite being a key part of treatments. Ganirelix is never taken alone. Instead, it is combined with different medical treatment plans to treat infertility. Ganirelix is only used to treat infertility in women.

What does Ganirelix do in IVF?

Despite the low Ganirelix price, it is one of the most important medications used in IVF treatments. Ganirelix reduces the level of hormones produced in your body. The main hormone suppressed by Ganirelix is estrogen. By suppressing your hormone levels, doctors can monitor your ovulation cycle. Many women struggle with IVF treatments because of a premature ovulation cycle, which results in their eggs being too weak to survive the treatment.

Another reason it is worth paying the Ganirelix cost while taking other medications is due to many of the side effects from other IVF drugs. Most medications naturally change your hormone levels, so if you do not have a counterbalance to regulate your hormones you risk throwing off your entire IVF treatment plan.

How much does Ganirelix cost?

The Ganirelix price depends largely on where you purchase the medication. Unlike other IVF medications, Ganirelix is only available in 0.25 mg/0.5 ml made by Organon. The biggest change in Ganirelix price is whether you decide to purchase the injection from a traditional pharmacy or an online pharmacy. One of the benefits of shopping from an online pharmacy is you have much more freedom in selecting your Ganirelix supplier.

The Ganirelix cost is often increased at in-person pharmacies because the pharmacy only carries one or two brands of injections. The brand name does not change the quality of the injection, only the price. These brand names typically have a much higher Ganirelix cost compared to the injections sold by smaller providers, which are normally stocked by online pharmacies. Before you commit to a purchase, take the time to look at the Ganirelix cost from online pharmacies to see whether you are being overcharged.

How is Ganirelix administered?

One of the reasons the Ganirelix price remains stable compared to other medications is there is only one possible way to take Ganirelix. Ganirelix is administered as a subcutaneous injection, which means it must be injected underneath your skin. Most patients choose to administer their Ganirelix injections in their abdomen, above or underneath their bellybutton or along the upper thigh. Because there is only a single measurement for Ganirelix, it is easier to administer at home, since you do not have to worry about getting the correct measurement. If you want to get the injection at a hospital, consider the Ganirelix cost may change depending on whether the medical facility purchases the medication on your behalf. Even if the price does not change, your treatment plan may increase to reflect the additional service.

What are the possible side effects of Ganirelix?

In addition to the Ganirelix price being low, the number of potential side effects is also small. The most common side effects include mild nausea after the injection, or a pelvic pain similar to menstrual cramps. Many patients also report having light headaches after taking Ganirelix. Less common side effects include heavier stomach pain or swelling. Some patients also reported swelling around their hands and legs. If rare cases, you may experience weight gain or shortness of breath after an injection. If this happens, contact your doctor immediately. Also contact your doctor if your face or throat begins to swell and you experience difficulty breathing. These are not direct side effects of Ganirelix, but are symptoms of an allergic reaction.

How often do you need to take Ganirelix?

The total Ganirelix price may vary depending on how many injections you need. In most cases, you only need a few Ganirelix injections during your treatment cycle. The exact number of injections and how frequently you need them is dependent on what other medications you are taking alongside Ganirelix. On average, women only need a single injection for several days starting in the middle of their treatment cycle. After your first injection, it is common for doctors to test your blood.

Do Ganirelix injections need to be refrigerated?

While many IVF medications must be refrigerated, Ganirelix is safely stored at room temperature. When you are storing Ganirelix, make sure you keep it away from well lit areas, as these directly increase the temperature of the medication. Make sure you store your medication in a dry space as well. Do not take chances if you believe your injection was improperly stored. Paying the extra Ganirelix cost is worth ensuring your treatment remains safe and on schedule.

In addition to properly storing your injections, make sure you properly dispose of the injections as well. Store your used needles in a puncture-proof container. If you were not provided with a specific container, ask your doctor for recommendations. Most hard-plastic containers can hold your used syringes. In addition to storing the needles, make sure you dispose of the vial the injection comes in. Each injection is single use, so even if you believe there is Ganirelix remaining in the vial, throw it away.
