SUPPRELIN LA (histrelin acetate) · ENDO OPERATIONS
Supprelin LA is a subcutaneous histrelin acetate implant indicated for the treatment of children with central precocious puberty (CPP). The therapy is used to manage the early onset of secondary sexual characteristics and significantly advanced bone age, which can lead to diminished adult height attainment. It functions by suppressing the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis to arrest premature pubertal progression.
How SUPPRELIN LA Works
Supprelin LA acts as a potent GnRH agonist that provides continuous delivery of histrelin acetate. Following a transient initial stimulatory phase of gonadotropin release, chronic administration induces down-regulation of pituitary GnRH receptors and desensitization of pituitary gonadotropes. This results in a reversible suppression of LH and FSH secretion, leading to a significant reduction in the production of ovarian and testicular sex steroids.

SUPPRELIN LA FDA Label Details
Indications & Usage
FDA Label (PDF)SUPPRELIN LA (histrelin acetate) subcutaneous implant is indicated for the treatment of children with central precocious puberty (CPP). Children with CPP (neurogenic or idiopathic) have an early onset of secondary sexual characteristics (earlier than 8 years of age in females and 9 years of age in males). They also show a significantly advanced bone age that can result in diminished adult height attainment. Prior to initiation of treatment a clinical diagnosis of CPP should be confirmed by measurement of blood concentrations of total sex steroids, luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle stimulat...
