What considerations should be made when using Cetrotide in women with a high body mass index (BMI), including potential dosage adjustments or altered pharmacokinetics?
1. In women with high BMI, increased Cetrotide dosage may be necessary due to altered drug distribution and metabolism.
2. Consider monitoring serum levels of Cetrotide in obese patients to adjust the dose for effective ovulation suppression.
3. Obesity can affect Cetrotide’s absorption and efficacy, requiring adjustments in dosing to maintain its pharmacological effect.
