A

supplements LH to mimic LH surge

24

A

HA, irritability, restlessness, fatigue, edema, gynecomastia, injection site rxns

25
Q

hCG brand names

A
- urine derived: Pregnyl, novarel
choriogonadotropin alpha (r-hCG): ovidrel
26
Q

female hCG dosing

A

5000-1000 units once given 3-4 days after last dose of clomiphene or one day after lst dose of gonadotropins
- have sex the day after hCG & for the next 2 days

27
Q

Male hCG dosing

A

for 2* hypogonadism

- 1000-2000 units TIW until serum testosterone are normal (2-3 months); may add gonadotropin & continue hCG

28
Q

hCG therapy is

A

additive (combined with something else)

29
Q

hCG storage

A
  • urine-derived: store powder at RT; pt must refrigerate after mixed
    e-hCG: refrigerate pre-filled syringe prior to dispensing; pt may keep at RT
30
Q

hCG therapy indication

A
  • females: ovulation induction with other agents; correct for lack of mid-cycle gonadotropin surge
  • male: spermatogenesis in men w/ hypogonadism
31
Q

GnRH nasal spray

A

synarel (nafarelin)

32
Q

GnRH side effects

A

stimulation: excessive ovarian stimulation & estrogen synthesis
suppression: estrogen deficiency

33
Q

GnRH storage

A

refrigerate injectables

store nasal spray at RT

34
Q

GnRH indications

A
  • women with anovulation due to GnRH deficiency
  • PCOS
  • off label in men to increase sperm count
35
Q

GnRH antagonist MOA

A

competes with natural GnRH for pituitary receprors-> immediate decrease in pituitary secretion of FSH/LH

36
Q

GnRH antagonist dosing

A
  • antagon: 250microg SC QD on day 8-9 of cycle until hCG administration
  • cetrotide: single or multiple dosing
  • should be used with hCG
37
Q

indication of GnRH antagonist therapy

A
  • suppress premature LH surge and premature ovulation during controled ovarian stimulation with menotropins
