Description

Diferelin (Triptorelin) Powder 0.1 mg Injections №7

Ingredients:

Active ingredient: Triptorelin acetate. Inactive ingredients may include mannitol and acetic acid for pH adjustment.

Mechanism of Action:

Diferelin (triptorelin) acts by continuously stimulating the pituitary gland to produce and release gonadotropins, ultimately leading to a decrease in testosterone levels in men and estrogen levels in women. This mechanism is crucial in the treatment of hormone-sensitive conditions.

Pharmacological Properties:

Diferelin belongs to the class of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists. It exerts its effects by desensitizing the GnRH receptors in the pituitary gland, leading to the suppression of gonadotropin secretion.

Indications for Use:

  • Treatment of advanced prostate cancer
  • Management of endometriosis
  • Control of central precocious puberty

Contraindications:

Do not use Diferelin if:

  • Allergic to triptorelin or any components
  • Pregnant
  • Breastfeeding

Side Effects:

Common side effects of Diferelin may include hot flashes, decreased libido, fatigue, and injection site reactions. Patients should consult their healthcare provider for a full list of possible adverse effects.

Usage Instructions:

Usual Dosage: 0.1 mg injected subcutaneously once a day. Patients should follow the healthcare provider’s instructions for the correct administration of the injections. Store at room temperature away from moisture and heat.

Benefits Compared to Analogues:

Comparative studies have shown that Diferelin exhibits similar efficacy to other GnRH agonists but with potentially fewer side effects, making it a preferred choice in clinical practice.

Suitable Patient Groups:

Diferelin is suitable for adult patients including the elderly. Pediatric use should be determined by a healthcare provider based on individual considerations.

Storage Conditions and Shelf Life:

Store Diferelin as per the instructions provided in the packaging. Check the expiration date and do not use the product beyond the stated shelf life.

Packaging Description:

Diferelin is available in packs containing 7 powder injections of 0.1 mg strength each. The packaging should be intact and undamaged before use.
