buserelin nasal spray

[ollie'smum]

Hi guys.

Does any one out there know if you have to reduce the dose of buserelin nasal spray once you have achieved down regulation? I'm using suprecur at a dose of 150mg ( one puff) four times a day. I'm about to start menopur injections, and my clinic is unsure whether the dose needs to be reduced. They normally use buserelin injections, and they do reduce these to a maintanance dose, but they have no experience with the spray. Any info gratefully recieved. Good luck to every one! Ollie's Mum

I think the only way is to cut down on the number of 'sniffs' per day..so if you are doing 4 per day - they may cut this down to 2 per day. I don't think doing .5 sniff is possible - impossible to measure and you may not get the right 'mixture' of meds in .5 sniff.

I sniffed 6 x a day to dreg and continued the same until the HCG Injection

Hope this helps - I used suprefact.

Thanks for the info girls. The manufacturers say that the dose is maintained when you go onto gonadatrophins as well, but it's nice to have confirmation from some one that's used it for the same purpose. My clinic did suggest that perhaps I should cut down to three sniffs a day (from 4 with supracur) but they also said it would be my responsibility if things went wrong!! Helpful hu? Wishing every one the best of luck, Ollie's mum.
