Synthetic GnRH analogs

Overview

Synthetic analogs of GnRH that modulate reproductive hormone secretion.

Mechanism of Action

Initial stimulation followed by downregulation of GnRH receptors, suppresses LH and FSH release, reduces testosterone/estrogen production, used for both stimulation and suppression protocols.

Key Benefits

  • ✓Controlled hormone suppression or stimulation
  • ✓Fertility treatment (IVF protocols)
  • ✓Hormone-dependent condition management
  • ✓Precocious puberty control
  • ✓Gender-affirming hormone therapy
