What is BUSERELIN?

Description

Buserelin acetate is a potent analog of the hypothalamic hormone, luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LH-RH). Chronic administration of higher doses of buserelin desensitizes the pituitary, resulting in a decreased production of luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), and eventually sex steroids (testosterone in males and estradiol in females). Initial approval is for use in achieving medical castration in the treatment of advanced prostate cancer. It has also been investigated for the treatment of endometriosis, leiomyoma, precocious puberty, advanced breast cancer and infertility.
