Synarel (Nafarelin Acetate) and/or alternatives

General Information On Synarel

Synarel is used for treating endometriosis symptoms such as painful intercourse and bowel movements and back pain due to menstruation. The generic name of the drug is Nafarelin Acetate, and it belongs to the category of gonadotropin releasing hormone analogues. Synarel is a nasal spray that needs to be administered inside the patient’s nostrils. The medicine works by temporarily reducing estrogen production in the body, thus blocking menstruation and ovulation and relieving endometriosis symptoms. Synarel can also be used to treat precocious puberty in children of both genders, or as a contraceptive by both sexes.
