Triptorelin is a synthetic decapeptide agonist analogue of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), used primarily for the treatment of advanced prostate cancer, central precocious puberty, endometriosis, and uterine fibroids. It works by suppressing pituitary gonadotropin secretion, thus lowering sex hormone levels. Triptorelin is approved and in use today as a depot injection in various indications.
Pharmacokinetic parameters in adult males with advanced prostate cancer following single intramuscular dose of 3.75 mg depot formulation; non-compartmental analysis.
