Leuprolide Trigger
Leuprolide Acetate may also be used to "trigger" the final maturation of the eggs during a GNRH antagonist IVF cycle. When used in this way, it releases luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) from the pituitary, which luteinizes the mature eggs in the ovarian follicles in preparation for the egg retrieval procedure. Leuprolide Acetate Trigger is dispensed as a vial, with appropriate sized insulin syringes to use for subcutaneous injection.
