GnRH Antagonist · Reproductive
Ganirelix (Antagon)

GnRH antagonist for IVF cycles.

Mechanism

Research areas
  • IVF / assisted reproduction
Considerations
  • FDA-approved.
  • Generally well-tolerated; mild injection reactions.

Parathyroid Hormone · Anabolic Bone
Teriparatide (Forteo)

Recombinant PTH(1-34) for severe osteoporosis.

Mechanism

Recombinant fragment of parathyroid hormone (amino acids 1–34). Intermittent dosing stimulates osteoblast activity more than osteoclasts, producing net bone formation and increased bone mineral density.

Research areas
  • Postmenopausal osteoporosis
  • Male osteoporosis
  • Glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis
Considerations
  • FDA-approved.
  • Lifetime use limited to 2 years; transient hypercalcemia possible.
