Abstracto

Triptorelin Description:

Triptorelin is a gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist used as the acetate or pamoate salts. By causing constant stimulation of the pituitary, it decreases pituitary secretion of gonadotropins luteinizing hormone and follicle stimulating hormone. Like other GnRH agonists, triptorelin may be used in the treatment of hormone-responsive cancers such as prostate cancer or breast cancer, precocious puberty, estrogen-dependent conditions, and in assisted reproduction. Triptorelin is marketed under the brand names Decapeptyl and Diphereline and Gonapeptyl.
