Triptorelin

Triptorelin is used for prostate cancer, endometriosis and precocious puberty.

Triptorelin reduces the amount of sex hormones (testosterone in men and estrogen in women). It works by decreasing the blood levels of testosterone in males. Triptorelin also acts by shutting off hormones made by the ovaries (female reproductive organs), so the estrogen (one of the hormones that causes females to have periods) level is lowered.
