Triptorelin, a gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist, effectively manages endometriosis by suppressing estradiol (E2) levels, reducing lesion growth, and alleviating symptoms like pelvic pain and dysmenorrhea. This hormone therapy works by downregulating GnRH receptors to lower luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels, achieving temporary chemical castration. The triptorelin acetate prolonged-release (PR) 1-month formulation has been a standard treatment, but the newer triptorelin pamoate PR 3-month option offers equivalent efficacy with fewer injections, reducing patient burden and improving compliance.
