Indications
  • Prostate cancer

Pharmacology

Triptorelin is a synthetic analogue of natural gonadotropin-releasing hormone. Initial administration stimulates the release of pituitary gonadotrophins with a transient increase in testosterone levels in men and oestradiol levels in women, leading to an initial worsening of symptoms during the first week. Prolonged administration leads to suppression of gonadotrophins and a decrease in plasma testosterone or oestradiol after approximately 20 days.
