Golexin (D-Ser(But)6 Azgly10 LHRH) is a synthetic analogue of naturally occurring LHRH. On chronic administration Golexin results in inhibition of pituitary LH secretion leading to a fall in serum testosterone concentrations in males and serum estradiol concentrations in females.

IndicationGolexin (D-Ser(But)6 Azgly10 LHRH) is a synthetic analogue of naturally occurring LHRH. On chronic administration Golexin results in inhibition of pituitary LH secretion leading to a fall in serum testosterone concentrations in males and serum estradiol concentrations in females. This effect is reversible on discontinuation of therapy. Initially, Golexin, like other LHRH agonists, may transiently increase serum testosterone concentration in men and serum estradiol concentration in women.
