| Relugolix |
Relugolix is a nonpeptide GnRH receptor antagonist that competitively binds to GnRH receptors in the anterior pituitary gland preventing native GnRH from binding and signalling the secretion of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). Consequently, the production of testosterone from the testes is reduced. |
