What is Triptorelin?
Long-acting GnRH agonist used for medical suppression after initial flare.
How Triptorelin works
Continuous GnRH receptor stimulation causes pituitary downregulation and reduced LH/FSH after flare phase.
Triptorelin dosage
- Typical dose
- Typical (PCT): a SINGLE low microdose ~100 mcg one-time SubQ. Potent GnRH agonist — re-dosing backfires; more is not better.
Triptorelin half-life
~3-5 hours (depot effect weeks)
Triptorelin side effects
- Initial hormone flare symptoms
- Hot flashes
- Mood/libido suppression
Preparation & storage
- Preparation
- Mix a 2 mg vial with 2 mL bac water → 1,000 mcg/mL. A 100 mcg dose = 0.1 mL = 10 units. Single dose only.
- Reconstitution
- Reconstitute a 2 mg vial with 2 mL BAC water → 1 mg/mL. A 100 mcg dose = 0.1 mL = 10 units on a U-100 syringe.
