Safety Information

|
The most commonly reported adverse events associated with the use of TRELSTAR Depot/TRELSTAR
LA included hot flushes (58.6%/73.0%), skeletal pain (12.1%/13.2%), impotence (7.1%/2.3%),
headache (5.0%/6.9%), leg pain (2.1%/5.2%), and edema in legs (0.0%/6.3%) . TRELSTAR
is contraindicated in women who are or may become pregnant as well as patients who
are hypersensitive to triptorelin, other LHRH agonists, or LHRH . Infrequent postmarketing
reports of anaphylactic shock and angioedema have been received since 1986 (global
experience) . As with all LHRH agonists, triptorelin causes an initial transient
increase in testosterone levels. Patients may experience the onset or exacerbation
of symptoms during this period, including bone pain, neuropathy, hematuria, spinal
cord compression, or urethral or bladder outlet obstruction. Patients with metastatic
vertebral lesions and/or urinary tract obstruction should be closely observed.
