Pharmacological action

Ovitrel has a gonadotropic, luteinizing effect.

Pharmacodynamics

Ovitrel ® contains choriogonadotropin alpha (CG alpha), which is produced using recombinant DNA technology. It has the same amino acid sequence as natural human HCG. CG binds transmembrane LH receptors on the surface of theca and ovarian granulosa cells. It causes the initiation of oocytic meiosis, rupture of the follicles (ovulation), the formation of the corpus luteum, the production of progesterone and estradiol by the corpus luteum.

Pharmacokinetics

Absorption and distribution. After iv administration of CG, alpha is distributed into the extracellular fluid with a half-life of about 4.5 hours.

Stationary Vd and total clearance are 6 l and 0.2 l / h, respectively.

With subcutaneous administration of CG alpha, the absolute bioavailability is approximately 40%, the final T1 / 2 is about 30 hours.

Excretion and metabolism. Metabolism and excretion of CG alpha are similar to endogenous CG.

Indications

In the protocol for the induction of multiple follicular maturation (superovulation) for assisted reproductive technologies (including for IVF) to induce the final maturation of follicles and luteinization after stimulation with gonadotropins with anovulatory or oligovulatory infertility to induce ovulation and luteinization at the end of stimulation of follicular growth.

On the part of the reproductive system and mammary glands: often – OSS of mild or moderate severity, infrequently – severe form of OHS, soreness of the mammary glands.

General and local reactions: often – fatigue, reactions at the injection site.

Overdose

Symptoms: The development of a CSF characterized by the formation of large ovarian cysts with the risk of their rupture (perforation), the development of ascites and circulatory disorders.

Treatment: At high risk of developing CSF, it is recommended to cancel the administration of human HCG. Patients are advised to refrain from sexual intercourse or use barrier methods of contraception for at least 4 days.
