- Continuous administration indicated for endometriosis and leiomyomas; pulsatile administration indicated for amenorrhea.
- Contraindicated in patients showing symptoms of hypogonadism or bone pain, as well as swelling in feet and ankles.
-
Growth Hormone Analogue
- Clinical applications include treatment of dwarfism and muscle wasting associated with AIDS or malignancy.
- Mechanism involves binding to growth hormone receptors in liver and cartilage, enhancing bone growth and muscle mass while regulating blood glucose and lipids.
- Potential side effects include hand/foot edema, arthralgias, carpal tunnel syndrome, insulin sensitivity decrease, and hyperglycemia.
-
Somatostatin Analogue
- Effective for managing esophageal varices, VIPomas, carcinoid syndrome, acromegaly, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.
- Functions by inhibiting hormone secretion (GH, glucagon, insulin) via binding to somatostatin receptors.
- Contraindications include gallbladder disease, pancreatitis, hypo/hyperthyroidism, and potential hypo/hyperglycemia.
-
Dopamine Receptor Agonists
- Indicated for prolactinomas and Parkinson's disease; higher doses required for efficacy.
- Mechanism involves the inhibition of prolactin secretion by acting on dopamine receptors.
- Potential side effects include psychotic symptoms, dizziness, headaches, nausea, light-headedness, and confusion, with examples like bromocriptine and cabergoline.
-
Vasopressin Analogue (ADH)
- Primarily used for treating central diabetes insipidus.
- Contraindications include hyponatremia, highlighting the importance of electrolyte balance during therapy.
