FIRMAGON IS AN ANTAGONIST1

FIRMAGON is a gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist that stops testosterone production more directly at its main source, eliminating the possibility of an initial testosterone “surge” and any need for additional therapies to counteract surges.

FIRMAGON is a gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist available in the United States for the treatment of advanced prostate cancer (APC).

LEUPROLIDE IS AN AGONIST7,10

Leuprolide triggers a receptor called the luteinizing hormone–releasing hormone (LHRH) receptor, which results in an initial surge in testosterone. This initial surge subsequently reduces over a few weeks until T is suppressed. Additional medication may be required to prevent the effects of the testosterone surge.
