MEDICINAL PREPARATIONS FOR TREATING SEX HORMONE-DEPENDENT DISEASES

摘要

Medicinal preparations for treating sex hormone-dependent diseases which comprise a combination of a compound having a luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone agonistic effect or its salt with a compound having a luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone antagonistic effect or its salt for administering the compound having a luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone agonistic effect or its salt followed by the compound having a luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone antagonistic effect or its salt. By using these preparations, the concentration of a sex hormone (for example, testosterone, LH, FSH, estrogen) can be quickly recovered after the medicable period of a compound having a luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone antagonistic effect or its salt or a preparation containing the same (preferably a sustained-release preparation), which makes it possible to definitely determine the drug cessation period in an intermittent treatment.
