Overview
GnRH agonist administered as an intranasal spray. Indicated for endometriosis and central precocious puberty. Each spray delivers 200 mcg. Unlike depot formulations, requires twice-daily dosing. Bioavailability from nasal mucosa is relatively low (~2-3%), but sufficient for GnRH receptor downregulation at recommended doses.
Mechanism of Action
Synthetic decapeptide GnRH agonist. Absorbed through nasal mucosa. Continuous administration causes pituitary GnRH receptor downregulation.
