Synarel Nasal Spray and Hormonal Suppression
Synarel (Nafarelin acetate) is a gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist, commonly delivered in the form of a nasal spray. Its primary function is to suppress the production of sex hormones, such as testosterone in assigned males at birth and oestrogen in assigned females at birth. By desensitizing the pituitary gland, Synarel decreases the secretion of gonadotropins, which in turn suppresses the production of sex hormones from the gonads.
Facilitating Hormonal Transition
Synarel suppresses endogenous hormone production to help facilitate the development of secondary sexual characteristics associated with your gender. This includes reducing the effects of testosterone in transgender women and oestrogen in transgender men, contributing to gender affirmation and overall well-being.
Dosage and Administration
Synarel nasal spray is typically administered via the nose, with doses varying based on individual requirements. Healthcare providers specializing in transgender care will determine the appropriate dosage and frequency of administration to achieve optimal hormonal suppression while minimizing side effects.
