Drug interaction
In vitro investigations have shown that interactions are unlikely with medicinal products that are metabolised by cytochrome P-450 or glucuronised or conjugated in some other way. However, although there has been no evidence of drug interactions, especially with commonly used medicinal products, gonadotropins or products that may induce histamine release in susceptible individuals, the possibility of interactions cannot be totally excluded.
Incompatibilities: Cetrotide must not be mixed with other medicinal products except the solvent provided.
