gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) analogs

Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) analogs are medications that mimic or block the natural GnRH hormone produced by the body, which regulates reproductive hormone production. These drugs can be used to treat conditions like hormone-sensitive cancers, endometriosis, or to control ovarian stimulation during fertility treatments. Depending on how they are given, GnRH analogs either initially increase hormone levels briefly and then reduce them (agonists) or directly block hormone signals (antagonists). By controlling hormone production, they help manage abnormal hormone-driven conditions or assist in managing fertility and reproductive health.
