Abstract

Nafarelin, a gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist, has been shown to be effective in the treatment of endometriosis. The standard dosage is 200 micrograms bid intranasally. Side effects most commonly include those associated with estrogen deprivation. By assessing estrogen status, the standard dosage can be manipulated to minimize these side effects and increase patient compliance.
