HIDE SMILES / InChI
Nafarelin acetate (brand name Synarel) is a synthetic agonist of gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) [luteinising hormone-releasing hormone (LH-RH), which is indicated for management of endometriosis, including pain relief and reduction of endometriotic lesions and for the treatment of central precocious puberty (CPP). Nafarelin has also been used effectively in in vitro fertilisation programmes, and in hirsute women and those with uterine leiomyoma, particularly to induce preoperative fibroid shrinkage. Side effects are related to the low estrogen state and include hot flashes, vaginal dryness, headaches, mood changes, and decreased interest in sex.

SYNAREL

Approved Use

FOR CENTRAL PRECOCIOUS PUBERTY (For Endometriosis, See Reverse Side) SYNAREL is indicated for treatment of central precocious puberty (CPP) (gonadotropin-dependent precocious puberty) in children of both sexes. The diagnosis of central precocious puberty (CPP) is suspected when premature development of secondary sexual characteristics occurs at or before the age of 8 years in girls and 9 years in boys, and is accompanied by significant advancement of bone age and/or a poor adult height prediction. The diagnosis should be confirmed by pubertal gonadal sex steroid levels and a pubertal LH response to stimulation by native GnRH. Pelvic ultrasound assessment in girls usually reveals enlarged uterus and ovaries, the latter often with multiple cystic formations. Magnetic resonance imaging or CT-scanning of the brain is recommended to detect hypothalamic or pituitary tumors, or anatomical changes associated with increased intracranial pressure. Other causes of sexual precocity, such as congenital adrenal hyperplasia, testotoxicosis, testicular tumors and/or other autonomous feminizing or masculinizing disorders must be excluded by proper clinical hormonal and diagnostic imaging examinations., INDICATIONS AND USAGE FOR ENDOMETRIOSIS (For Central Precocious Puberty, See Reverse Side) SYNAREL is indicated for management of endometriosis, including pain relief and reduction of endometriotic lesions. Experience with SYNAREL for the management of endometriosis has been limited to women 18 years of age and older treated for 6 months.

Sample Use Guides

For the treatment of central precocious puberty (CPP), the recommended daily dose is 1600 µg. The dose can be increased to 1800 µg daily if adequate suppression cannot be achieved at 1600 µg/day. The 1600 µg dose is achieved by two sprays (400 µg) into each nostril in the morning (4 sprays) and two sprays into each nostril in the evening (4 sprays), a total of 8 sprays per day. The 1800 µg dose is achieved by 3 sprays (600 µg) into alternating nostrils three times a day, a total of 9 sprays per day. The patient’s head should be tilted back slightly, and 30 seconds should elapse between sprays.
Route of Administration: Nasal
In Vitro Use Guide
The binding of LHRH and [6-(3-(2-naphthyl)-D-Ala]LHRH (nafarelin acetate), a highly potent LHRH agonist, to plasma proteins was investigated in vitro by equilibrium dialysis at 4 degrees C with fresh plasma from normal human subjects, female rhesus monkeys, and female rats. Over a wide range of concentrations (10(-8) to 10(-5) M), 78-84% of nafarelin acetate and only 22-25% of LHRH were bound to undiluted plasma. With 10% plasma, the extent of binding was 31-37%, and 0.9-4.2% for nafarelin acetate and LHRH, respectively.
