Fertirelin, or fertirelin acetate, sold under the brand name Ovalyse, is a gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRH agonist) which has been marketed in the United Kingdom and Austria.[1][2][3] It may no longer be available.[4] Fertirelin has been used in veterinary medicine.[2] It may have been used in the treatment of sex hormone-dependent conditions and infertility in women.[3] The drug was first introduced in 1981 in Japan to treat various kinds of ovarian failure in cattle.[5] Fertirelin is a synthetic peptide and GnRH analogue.[1][2] It is used as the acetate salt.[2]
