Leuprorelin acetate is a synthetic agonist analogue of gonadotropin-releasing hormone. Continued leuprorelin administration results in suppression of gonadal steroid synthesis, resulting in pharmacological castration. Since leuprorelin is a peptide, it is orally inactive and generally given subcutaneously or intramuscularly. Sustained
