Degrinta-80 Injection is used in the treatment of Prostate cancer. The detailed uses of Degrinta-80 Injection are as follows:&lt;br/&gt;&bull; Advanced prostate cancer: Degrinta-80 Injection is primarily used to treat hormone-dependent prostate cancer in adult men. It works by blocking gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) receptors, resulting in a rapid reduction in testosterone levels. This decrease in testosterone helps to slow or stop the growth of cancer cells that depend on this hormone.&lt;br/&gt;&bull; Locally advanced prostate cancer (in combination with radiotherapy): Degrinta-80 Injection may be used alongside radiation therapy in patients with high-risk, locally advanced prostate cancer, helping to shrink the tumor and improve treatment outcomes.&lt;br/&gt;&bull; Rapid testosterone suppression: Unlike some other hormone therapies, Degrinta-80 Injection provides immediate testosterone suppression without the initial surge (flare) seen with GnRH agonists, making it especially useful in patients where a quick hormonal response is critical.&lt;br/&gt;

Medicinal Benefits:

Degrinta-80 Injection belongs to the group of medicines called gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptor antagonists indicated in the treatment of adult male patients with prostate cancer and high-risk prostate cancer before radiation therapy and in combination with radiotherapy. Degrinta-80 Injection contains Degarelix, a synthetic hormone blocker which works by decreasing the amount of testosterone and helps to stop or slow the spread of prostate cancer cells that require testosterone for their growth. Thereby, it helps treat prostate cancer.
