Question 3 of 5
Which drug would be administered daily to suppress the luteinizing hormone surge during controlled ovarian hyperstimulation for in vitro fertilization?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Rationale: Leuprolide is a GnRH agonist that suppresses LH surge by desensitizing the pituitary gland.

Cabergoline (C) is a dopamine receptor agonist used to treat conditions like hyperprolactinemia and Parkinson's disease, not prostate cancer. Pegvisomant (D) is a growth hormone receptor antagonist used for acromegaly, not prostate cancer.
