Also known as Decapeptyl, Diphereline, Gonapeptyl, or Variopeptyl.
General information
Class/mechanism: GnRH (gonadotropin-releasing hormone)/LHRH (luteinizing hormone releasing hormone) agonist; inhibits gonadotropin secretion, decreasing circulating levels of LH (luteinizing hormone) and FSH (follicle stimulating hormone), and suppressing synthesis of ovarian and testicular steroids.[1][2]
Route: IM
Extravasation: n/a
