Product Description

🔹 Product Overview
DEGHOR 120 mg Injection is a prescription hormonal therapy medicine used for the treatment of hormone-dependent advanced prostate cancer. It contains Degarelix 120 mg, a Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone (GnRH) antagonist that works by rapidly reducing testosterone levels in the body. Lowering testosterone helps slow the growth and progression of prostate cancer cells that depend on male hormones.

🔹 Key Uses
Treatment of advanced hormone-dependent prostate cancer
Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) for prostate cancer management
Helps reduce testosterone stimulation of prostate cancer cells
Used in patients requiring rapid testosterone suppression under specialist supervision

🔹 Composition
Active Ingredient: Degarelix 120 mg
Drug Class: Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone (GnRH) Antagonist
Dosage Form: Injectable Powder/Solution for Subcutaneous Administration

🔹 How It Works
DEGHOR 120 mg contains Degarelix, which directly blocks GnRH receptors in the pituitary gland. This rapidly decreases the release of luteinizing hormone (LH), leading to reduced testosterone production by the testes. The reduction in testosterone helps slow the growth of hormone-sensitive prostate cancer cells.

🔹 Key Benefits
Provides rapid testosterone suppression
Helps control hormone-sensitive prostate cancer
Avoids the initial testosterone surge associated with some GnRH agonist therapies
Supports long-term prostate cancer management when used as part of an oncology treatment plan
Administered under medical supervision for controlled dosing
