Abarelix

SKU: orb1218584

Description

Abarelix is a potent gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist, which is used for prostate cancer treatment.(In Vitro):Abarelix (30 and 300 μg/mL) causes significantly increased histamine release. Abarelix is the first GnRH antagonist to be developed, and can produce rapid and sustained decreases in testosterone to castrate levels without the need for co-administration of an antiandrogen, and with a very low complication rate in the short term. Abarelix demonstrates to promptly and substantially reduce follicle-stimulating hormone levels to lower than LHRH agonist. Abarelix does not cause a surge in serum testosterone that can precipitate a flare phenomenon or worsening of disease, particularly dangerous for patients with metastatic, symptomatic disease, and produces medical castration more quickly.
