GnRH analogues

GnRH analogues are medications that mimic or block the hormone gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), which regulates the release of hormones from the pituitary gland that control reproductive functions. By acting on GnRH receptors, these analogues can either stimulate or suppress hormone production, depending on how they’re used. They are commonly used to treat conditions like endometriosis, prostate cancer, and in assisted reproductive techniques, helping to control hormone levels and manage symptoms. Essentially, they influence the body's hormonal signals to achieve specific medical outcomes.
