No price is published for this exact package yet. CMS surveys NADAC per package size, so a different pack of the same drug often has one.
Where does this data come from?
NADAC (National Average Drug Acquisition Cost) is the CMS weekly pharmacy-acquisition-cost survey — what pharmacies pay. ASP (Average Sales Price) is the CMS Medicare Part B drug-payment file, published quarterly. Medicaid pays is computed by us from CMS State Drug Utilization Data (total reimbursed ÷ units, trailing 12 months) — gross of rebates and inclusive of dispensing fees, so it reflects what Medicaid paid, not an acquisition cost. Medicare drug plans pay is the median negotiated point-of-sale unit cost across plans listing this NDC in the CMS quarterly Prescription Drug Plan pricing files, before rebates. The VA pays is the federal contract price (FSS, and the statutory Big 4 ceiling where listed) from the VA National Acquisition Center pharmaceutical price file. All are free public government data; each measures a different payer, so the figures are not directly comparable.

🎯 Indications and Usage 21 words ▾

INDICATIONS AND USAGE Ganirelix Acetate Injection is indicated for the inhibition of premature LH surges in women undergoing controlled ovarian hyperstimulation.

⏱️ Dosage and Administration ~2 min read ▾

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION After initiating FSH therapy on Day 2 or 3 of the cycle, Ganirelix Acetate Injection 250 mcg may be administered subcutaneously once daily during the mid to late portion of the follicular phase. By taking advantage of endogenous pituitary FSH secretion, the requirement for exogenously administered FSH may be reduced. Treatment with Ganirelix Acetate should be continued daily until the day of hCG administration.

When a sufficient number of follicles of adequate size are present, as assessed by ultrasound, final maturation of follicles is induced by administering hCG. The administration of hCG should be withheld in cases where the ovaries are abnormally enlarged on the last day of FSH therapy to reduce the chance of developing OHSS (Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome). Directions for Using Ganirelix Acetate Injection Ganirelix Acetate Injection is supplied in a single dose, sterile, prefilled syringe and is intended for SUBCUTANEOUS administration only.

Air bubble(s) may be seen in the pre-filled syringe. This is expected, and removal of the air bubble(s) is not needed. Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water.

The most convenient sites for SUBCUTANEOUS injection are in the abdomen around the navel or upper thigh. The injection site should be swabbed with a disinfectant to remove any surface bacteria. Clean about two inches around the point where the needle will be inserted and let the disinfectant dry for at least one minute before proceeding.

With syringe held upward, remove needle cover. Pinch up a large area of skin between the finger and thumb. Vary the injection site a little with each injection.

The needle should be inserted at the base of the pinched-up skin at an angle of 45–90° to the skin surface. When the needle is correctly positioned, it will be difficult to draw back on the plunger. If any blood is drawn into the syringe, the needle tip has penetrated a vein or artery.

If this happens, withdraw the needle slightly and reposition the needle without removing it from the skin. Alternatively, remove the needle and use a new, sterile, prefilled syringe. Cover the injection site with a swab containing disinfectant and apply pressure; the site should stop bleeding within one or two minutes.

10. Once the needle is correctly placed, depress the plunger slowly and steadily, so the solution is correctly injected and the skin is not damaged. 11.

Pull the syringe out quickly and apply pressure to the site with a swab containing disinfectant. 12. Use the sterile, prefilled syringe only once.

Discard the unused portion and dispose of it properly.

⛔ Contraindications 37 words ▾

CONTRAINDICATIONS Ganirelix Acetate Injection is contraindicated under the following conditions: Known hypersensitivity to Ganirelix Acetate or to any of its components. Known hypersensitivity to GnRH or any other GnRH analog. Known or suspected pregnancy (see PRECAUTIONS ).

⚠️ Warnings 41 words ▾

WARNINGS Ganirelix Acetate Injection should be prescribed by physicians who are experienced in infertility treatment. Before starting treatment with Ganirelix Acetate, pregnancy must be excluded. Safe use of Ganirelix Acetate during pregnancy has not been established (see CONTRAINDICATIONS and PRECAUTIONS ).

🤒 Adverse Reactions ~1 min read ▾

ADVERSE REACTIONS The safety of Ganirelix Acetate Injection was evaluated in two randomized, parallel-group, multicenter controlled clinical studies. Treatment duration for Ganirelix Acetate ranged from 1 to 14 days. Table IV represents adverse events (AEs) from first day of Ganirelix Acetate administration until confirmation of pregnancy by ultrasound at an incidence of ≥ 1% in Ganirelix Acetate-treated subjects without regard to causality.

TABLE IV: Incidence of common adverse events (Incidence ≥ 1% in Ganirelix Acetate-treated subjects). Completed controlled clinical studies (All-subjects-treated group). Adverse Events Occurring in ≥ 1% Ganirelix Acetate N=794 % (n) Abdominal Pain (gynecological) 4.8 (38) Death Fetal 3.7 (29) Headache 3.0 (24) Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome 2.4 (19) Vaginal Bleeding 1.8 (14) Injection Site Reaction 1.1 (9) Nausea 1.1 (9) Abdominal Pain (gastrointestinal) 1.0 (8) During post-marketing surveillance, rare cases of hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis (including anaphylactic shock), angioedema and urticaria have been reported with Ganirelix Acetate, as early as with the first dose (see PRECAUTIONS ).

Congenital Anomalies An observational study in more than 1000 newborns compared the incidence of congenital anomalies in newborns of women administered Ganirelix Acetate to historical controls of a GnRH agonist. This study demonstrated that the incidence of congenital anomalies in children born after COH treatment in women using Ganirelix Acetate was comparable with that reported after a COH treatment cycle using a GnRH agonist. The incidence of congenital malformations after some Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART) [specifically in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI)] may be slightly higher than after spontaneous conception.

This slightly higher incidence is thought to be related to differences in parental characteristics (e.g., maternal age, maternal and paternal genetic background, sperm characteristics) and to the higher incidence of multi-fetal gestations after IVF or ICSI. The causal relationship between these congenital anomalies and Ganirelix Acetate Injection is unknown.

🔄 Drug Interactions 10 words ▾

Drug Interactions No formal drug-drug interaction studies have been performed.

🤰 Pregnancy 127 words ▾

Pregnancy Ganirelix Acetate Injection is contraindicated in pregnant women. When administered from Day 7 to near term to pregnant rats and rabbits at doses up to 10 and 30 mcg/day (approximately 0.4 to 3.2 times the human dose based on body surface area), Ganirelix Acetate increased the incidence of litter resorption. There was no increase in fetal abnormalities.

No treatment-related changes in fertility, physical, or behavioral characteristics were observed in the offspring of female rats treated with Ganirelix Acetate during pregnancy and lactation. The effects on fetal resorption are logical consequences of the alteration in hormonal levels brought about by the antigonadotropic properties of this drug and could result in fetal loss in humans. Therefore, this drug should not be used in pregnant women (see CONTRAINDICATIONS ).

🧓 Geriatric Use 20 words ▾

Geriatric Use Clinical studies with Ganirelix Acetate Injection did not include a sufficient number of subjects aged 65 and over.

🆘 Overdosage 14 words ▾

OVERDOSAGE There have been no reports of overdosage with Ganirelix Acetate Injection in humans.

🧬 Clinical Pharmacology ~3 min read ▾

CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY The pulsatile release of GnRH stimulates the synthesis and secretion of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). The frequency of LH pulses in the mid and late follicular phase is approximately 1 pulse per hour. These pulses can be detected as transient rises in serum LH.

At midcycle, a large increase in GnRH release results in an LH surge. The midcycle LH surge initiates several physiologic actions including: ovulation, resumption of meiosis in the oocyte, and luteinization. Luteinization results in a rise in serum progesterone with an accompanying decrease in estradiol levels.

Ganirelix Acetate acts by competitively blocking the GnRH receptors on the pituitary gonadotroph and subsequent transduction pathway. It induces a rapid, reversible suppression of gonadotropin secretion. The suppression of pituitary LH secretion by Ganirelix Acetate is more pronounced than that of FSH.

An initial release of endogenous gonadotropins has not been detected with Ganirelix Acetate, which is consistent with an antagonist effect. Upon discontinuation of Ganirelix Acetate, pituitary LH and FSH levels are fully recovered within 48 hours. Pharmacokinetics The pharmacokinetic parameters of single and multiple injections of Ganirelix Acetate Injection in healthy adult females are summarized in Table I .

Steady-state serum concentrations are reached after 3 days of treatment. The pharmacokinetics of ganirelix acetate are dose-proportional in the dose range of 125 to 500 mcg.

🔬 Clinical Studies ~3 min read ▾

Clinical Studies The efficacy of Ganirelix Acetate Injection was established in two adequate and well-controlled clinical studies which included women with normal endocrine and pelvic ultrasound parameters. The studies intended to exclude subjects with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and subjects with low or no ovarian reserve. One cycle of study medication was administered to each randomized subject.

For both studies, the administration of exogenous recombinant FSH [Follistim ® (follitropin beta for injection)] 150 IU daily was initiated on the morning of Day 2 or 3 of a natural menstrual cycle. Ganirelix Acetate Injection was administered on the morning of Day 7 or 8 (Day 6 of recombinant FSH administration). The dose of recombinant FSH administered was adjusted according to individual responses starting on the day of initiation of Ganirelix Acetate.

Both recombinant FSH and Ganirelix Acetate were continued daily until at least three follicles were 17 mm or greater in diameter at which time hCG [Pregnyl ® (chorionic gonadotropin for injection, USP)] was administered. Following hCG administration, Ganirelix Acetate and recombinant FSH administration were discontinued. Oocyte retrieval, followed by in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), was subsequently performed.

In a multicenter, double-blind, randomized, dose-finding study, the safety and efficacy of Ganirelix Acetate Injection were evaluated for the prevention of LH surges in women undergoing COH with recombinant FSH. Ganirelix Acetate Injection doses ranging from 62.5 mcg to 2000 mcg and recombinant FSH were administered to 332 patients undergoing COH for IVF (see TABLE II ). Median serum LH on the day of hCG administration decreased with increasing doses of Ganirelix Acetate.

Questions about this listing

Why is there no price listed?
The pricing shown on our NDC pages comes from CMS NADAC, a voluntary survey of retail community pharmacy invoices. CMS does not publish a NADAC for every NDC — packages outside the retail survey (institutional and hospital products, bulk packages, discontinued items, and many OTC items) may never receive one. A missing price reflects the survey's scope, not this product's actual cost, and does not mean the product is free or unavailable.
Is the NDC printed on the package the same as the 11-digit billing NDC?
Yes, they identify this exact package in different formats. The form printed on the packaging and shown on DailyMed is the one the FDA registered. Insurance claims use a fixed 11-digit 5-4-2 format, so the short segment is padded with a leading zero and the dashes are dropped. The Identity section at the top of this page lists each form of this code.
Is this package still being marketed?
Yes, per the latest FDA NDC Directory data on this page: this package is listed as actively marketed, with no marketing end date reported by Qilu Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.. Listing status can change — the directory data on this page refreshes weekly.
Who lists this product with the FDA?
Qilu Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. is the labeler of record for this NDC — the company under whose FDA-assigned code the package is listed. The labeler may be the manufacturer itself or a distributor marketing the product under its own code.
Do I need a prescription for this product?
This NDC is listed with FDA as a prescription product, so it is dispensed under a prescriber's order. Your pharmacist can tell you whether any over-the-counter forms of the same medication exist.
This page identifies an FDA-listed package (the NDC) and reports public regulatory and pricing data about the listing. It is reference information, not a medical recommendation — talk to your pharmacist or prescriber about your own medication.
Where does this data come from?
Listing facts (marketing category, packager status, marketing dates) from the FDA openFDA NDC Directory; label availability from DailyMed; pricing coverage from CMS NADAC; equivalence scope from the FDA Orange Book.
