Buserelin Acetate is one of the most common medicines used for the treatment of infertility. Buserelin, also known as Buserelin Acetate, belongs to a group named gonadotropin medicine used for releasing hormone analogues. It works by preventing the natural production of the hormones involved in ovulation. Synthetic hormones are then given to stimulate ovulation artificially.
Buserelin is a synthetic form of a hormone which occurs naturally in your body. It is used as part of some types of fertility treatment. It works by acting on the pituitary gland in your brain to stop the production of natural hormones that control the release of eggs from your ovaries. Other hormone treatments are then used to stimulate ovulation.
