Each is its own drug: Follistim, gonal f (follitropin alfa) and Bravelle are different brands of "fsh" hormone--a hormone made by the pituitary to stimulate egg growth. Ganarelix blocks ovulation--its a gnrh antagonist ( it blocks the action of gnrh from the brain) and Lovenox thins the blood, it acts on the clotting system.
