Description

Gonadorelin 100 mcg is a synthetic gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) analogue used primarily in the diagnostic evaluation of pituitary function. It stimulates the anterior pituitary gland to release luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), aiding in the assessment of hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis integrity. 

Common adverse effects include headache and abdominal discomfort, which are usually mild and transient. Hypersensitivity reactions may occur in some individuals and require immediate discontinuation. Regular monitoring of hormone levels is essential to ensure an appropriate response and to detect any adverse changes during treatment.

Gonadorelin may interact with estrogens, androgens, and glucocorticoids, potentially altering its diagnostic or therapeutic effectiveness. It is administered via a troche formulation, which should be placed in the mouth and allowed to dissolve completely for optimal absorption. Proper patient instruction on administration technique is important for achieving the desired pharmacologic effects.
