Gonadorelin Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone
Gonadorelin is a medicine that is the same as gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) that is naturally released from the hypothalamus gland.GnRH is responsible for the release of follicle stimulating hormone and leutinizing hormone from the anterior pitutitary.
Gonadorelin is used to test how well the hypothalamus and the pituitary glands are working. It is also used to cause ovulation in women who do not have regular ovulation and menstrual periods because the hypothalamus gland does not release enough GnRH.Gonadorelin is used for the treatment of amenorrhea, delayed puberty, and infertility the administration of gonadorelin is used to simulate the physiologic release of GnRH from the hypothalamus in treatment of delayed puberty, treatment of infertility caused by hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, and induction of ovulation in those women with hypothalamic amenorrhea.
