What is the serum testosterone concentration in patients treated with Trelstar?
Clinical trials have demonstrated that Trelstar achieves and maintains serum testosterone levels similar to those achieved with surgical castration.1 Initially, Trelstar causes a transient increase in serum testosterone levels.1 After chronic and continuous administration—usually 2 to 4 weeks after initiation of therapy—a sustained decrease in LH and FSH secretion and marked reduction of testicular steroidogenesis are observed.
