Leuprolide, a GnRH agonist, is used in transgender hormone therapy to suppress sex hormone production, aiding in aligning physical traits with gender identity.
Leuprolide suppresses sex hormones, making it useful in transgender hormone therapy by reducing hormone levels associated with a patient’s sex assigned at birth, supporting a smoother transition.
