Health Canada currently lists it as marketed, status dated 17-May-2022.

What is ORGALUTRAN used for?
Prevention of premature LH surges in women undergoing controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH).
Authorized indication as written in the Health Canada product monograph. For healthcare professionals and licensed purchasers; this is not medical advice.
How much does GANIRELIX cost around the world?
GANIRELIX is listed on 9 of the national price registers Nexara ingests. Each country publishes on a different basis, so those figures are not comparable with one another — or with a Canadian wholesale price.
What a market publishes matters more than the number it publishes. Australia publishes a ex-manufacturer; Bahrain publishes a retail (max); Greece publishes a producer price (ex-factory). Comparing an ex-factory ceiling against a pharmacy public price tells you nothing about either, and comparing either against a Canadian landed cost tells you less.
| Market | Price basis published there | Brands | Packs listed | Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sweden | AIP (pharmacy purchase price) | 4 | 11 | SEK███.██ |
| Australia | ex-manufacturer | 5 | 9 | AUD███.██ |
| Spain | PVP con IVA (public price) | 6 | 6 | EUR███.██ |
| Iceland | max wholesale | 2 | 3 | ISK███.██ |
| Romania | max producer price | 2 | 3 | RON███.██ |
| Greece | producer price (ex-factory) | 2 | 2 | EUR███.██ |
| Morocco | PPV (public price) | 1 | 2 | MAD███.██ |
| Bahrain | retail (max) | 1 | 1 | BHD███.██ |
| Hungary | producer price (ex-factory) | 1 | 1 | HUF███.██ |
38 pack listings across 24 brand entries and 8 price bases, refreshed 08 Sep 2026. Ranges span every GANIRELIX pack in that market, so a high figure is usually a larger pack rather than the same product.
Canada publishes no comparable public list price. For a delivered Canadian price on a licensed account, verify your licence — it takes about a minute.
How is it supplied and stored?
Pack configuration, storage class and the handling constraints that drive cold-chain planning. One DIN can cover more than one pack size, and the pack — not the DIN — is what gets priced, shipped and invoiced.
| Strength on the label | 250 MCG / 0.5 ML |
|---|---|
| Dosage form | SOLUTION |
| Route | SUBCUTANEOUS |
| Pack configuration (monograph) | Disposable pre-filled 1 mL glass syringes containing 250 mcg/0.5 mL. Available with or without natural rubber latex in the needle shield. |
| Storage | Not explicitly detailed in provided text snippet (section 11 header present but content missing), though typically 15-30°C for this class. |
Before an order line is unambiguous Nexara needs the strength, the pack size and the presentation, because this listing covers more than one of them.

Health Canada record and identifiers
The regulatory facts straight from the Drug Product Database, plus every identifier form Nexara accepts on a purchase order. A DIN written without its leading zeros is the commonest reason an order line fails to match.

| DIN (unpadded, as printed on some documents) | 2245641 |

How is it administered?
250 mcg SC once daily starting Day 2 or 3 of FSH therapy until hCG administration. Time between injections and between last dose and hCG should not exceed 30 hours.
Included because it drives pack selection and wastage. Consult the monograph.
Contraindications
Hypersensitivity to ganirelix, GnRH analogs, or latex (needle shield); known/suspected pregnancy or lactation; moderate to severe renal or hepatic impairment.
Warnings and precautions
Risk of hypersensitivity/anaphylaxis. Needle shield may contain latex. Efficacy/safety not established in women <50kg or >90kg. Risk of OHSS and ectopic pregnancy.
What can be used instead?
Alternatives on every axis a buyer actually considers — the same molecule in another presentation, the same class, an adjacent class, or a fixed-dose combination. Every row is led by the marketed DIN count, because that is what can be bought this week.
2 · Same class — other molecules in ATC H01CC
| Molecule | Canadian brands | DINs | Marketed | Sourceable |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Elagolix | ORILISSA | 2 | 2 | Yes |
| Cetrorelix | CETROTIDE | 2 | 1 | Yes |
| Ganirelix | ORGALUTRAN | 1 | 1 | Yes |
| Relugolix, Estradiol And Norethisterone | MYFEMBREE | 1 | 1 | Yes |
A molecule with zero marketed DINs cannot be sourced domestically, however many approvals it holds — if one of these sits on a formulary or in an older protocol, that is the line to check.
3 · Adjacent classes in ATC H01C
| ATC subgroup | Molecules | DINs | Marketed |
|---|---|---|---|
| H01CB | Lanreotide · Octreotide · Pasireotide · Somatostatin | 49 | 23 |
| H01CA | Gonadorelin · Nafarelin | 4 | 1 |
Not clinical advice. These tables describe what can be supplied in Canada, not what should be prescribed. Substitution within or across classes is a prescriber and pharmacist decision, and interchangeability is determined provincially.
What else is ORGALUTRAN called?
The same molecule, GANIRELIX, is registered under other names elsewhere. Buyers and prescribers searching from outside Canada — or working from a foreign prescription or tender document — often know it by one of these:
| Name | Script | Registered in |
|---|---|---|
| Orgalutran® | Latin | Sweden |
| Ganirelix Gedeon Richter | Latin | Iceland, Sweden |
| Fyremadel | Latin | Iceland, Sweden |
| ARX Ganirelix | Latin | Australia |
| Ganirelix Lupin | Latin | Australia |
| Ganirelix Orifarm | Latin | Sweden |
| GANIRELIX SUN | Latin | Australia |
| Ganirelix Theramex | Latin | Australia |
Names are taken from national medicine registers and published price lists. A product registered abroad is not authorized for sale in Canada unless it holds its own DIN; import is possible only through the routes Health Canada permits.
How can I get it?
Nexara Health supplies this product to licensed Canadian buyers — pharmacies, hospitals, clinics, licensed distributors, and clinical trial sponsors or their CROs. We confirm stock, pack size, expiry and pricing at the time of quotation. If the product is on backorder or in shortage, we identify equivalent alternatives and import options where permitted.
Ordering questions
Who can buy this from Nexara?
Licensed entities only. Nexara holds Health Canada establishment licence DEL 3-002896-A and ships only to a licensed address. Patients and unlicensed buyers are routed to a partner pharmacy.
Is there a minimum order?
Yes, set per product line and per pack multiple rather than on the order total, so you are never asked to buy a part-pack. The minimum for this line is confirmed with your quote.
What is the lead time?
Confirmed per order at quotation, and it depends on current stock position and whether the product is in shortage.
Why is there no price on this page?
Nexara quotes a delivered Canadian price per order, against a verified licence. Foreign list prices are published on incompatible bases and are not a guide to what any buyer can obtain here, so this page shows which markets list the molecule and on what basis, and nothing more.
Can Nexara supply this for a clinical trial?
Yes — comparator and background-therapy supply, including sourcing from other markets where a Canadian pack will not satisfy the protocol. Clinical trial supply.
